Thanksgiving Service |

Thanksgiving---a special day to thank God, is celebrated all around the world. There is Thanksgiving Service in churches also. The Thanksgiving Ebenezer Service at Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church is a simple service on Thanksgiving Day. There is a large stone placed in the center of the chairs, which arranged in several concentric rings, with passageways to enable people to get up and |
approach the stone. The homily is kept fairly brief. Father uses a variety of mediatations from the Patriarchs, Samuel or David.
Thanksgiving Service starts at 10 A.M. The service gives people an opportunity to share testimonies of thankfulness while placing representative objects along side the stone. Listening to others share thanksgivings helps us recall the many blessings we have each received. Children are also part of Thanksgiving Service. Sometimes, for a change on the service, Fathers place a box of river or beach stones by the door so that each worshipper could take one as they arrive, to place with their thanksgiving around the stone.
The Thanksgiving Service usually begins with a Reflection from Psalm 105:1-3 and is followed with a Hymn—We Gather Together To Ask The Lord’s Blessing, Call To Thanksgiving—Collosians 3:15-17 or Ephesians 5:18b-20, Responsive Readings—One of the Hallel Psalms such as 145 or 147. Then we have Homily and again a Hymn followed by Raising our Stone to the Lord, once again a Hymn and finally A Song of Praise—Give Thanks with a Joyful Heart.
