​Sunday Service Program: BUUF Thanksgiving: Gratitude and the Human Spirit
Presented by Connie Green 

It’s easy to be grateful for the good things that come our way, the events we celebrate, our accomplishments, and the gifts we receive. Being grateful for our whole lives, the sorrow, the losses, the failures and well as the successes, requires hard spiritual work. In this brief program of stories and reflections, we will consider spiritual practices of gratitude. 

This short service will be followed by our annual BUUF Thanksgiving dinner.And as many of you know, our Thanksgiving service is a big feast! In addition to the expressions of gratitude, we need people to volunteer to bring food. Catherine Fountain has graciously put together a Sign-Up Genius list of our food needs. Please go there and volunteer to bring a dish! We’ll also have a laptop available this Sunday (11/11) during announcements for those who need help using Sign-Up Genius, or who would just prefer to verbally indicate what they’re bringing to the Thanksgiving feast.

We can’t wait to break bread with the BUUF family on November 18th—not least of all because you’re such great cooks!
