We hope that you will find thanksgiving stories to share with our church family (and others), that your story of God’s work in your life might inspire others. You can share thanks and stories by email at or #thankfulfumcva (on social media). Let’s inspire others with God’s goodness! Enjoy your time of giving thanks! May this prayer by poet, Ann Weems, be a blessing to you in this season.

O Lord, you flower the gardens for us
and make green the wastelands.
The mountains burst forth with streams of water
and the fields are filled with your bounty.
Thank you, God, for all good gifts,
and make our hearts your home
that we might serve you all of our days
and live in the hope of your peace. Amen.
