Fall-ing into Thanks-Giving!

As the weather cools and the leaves change, we begin to prepare for thanks-giving! The next few months are full of opportunities to reflect on all that God is and all that He has done for us. Have you ever stopped to think about how many times God mentions giving thanks in His Word?

We asked our CCS faculty and staff to share their favorite verse(s) about giving thanks. This month we encourage you to read through these verses, meditating on His Word and offering your thanks to Him.
