Giving Back!
Thanksgiving 2020
The Congregation of Saint Saviour raised funds and donated food for Cathedral Community Cares (CCC) Thanksgiving meal. Our Congregation “Turkey Team” reached out into the community to bring supplies for the Thanksgiving meal at the RDJ Refugee Shelter, St. Mary’s Episcopal Church on 126th Street. We also donated grocery store gift cards to needy residents of NYCHA’s Grant Houses on 125th Street.
Accept, O Lord, our thanks and praise for all that you have
done for us. We thank you for the splendor of the whole
creation, for the beauty of this world, for the wonder of life,
and for the mystery of love.
We thank you for the blessing of family and friends, and for
the loving care which surrounds us on every side.
We thank you for setting us at tasks which demand our best
efforts, and for leading us to accomplishments which satisfy
and delight us.
We thank you also for those disappointments and failures
that lead us to acknowledge our dependence on you alone.
Above all, we thank you for your Son Jesus Christ; for the
truth of his Word and the example of his life; for his steadfast
obedience, by which he overcame temptation; for his dying,
through which he overcame death; and for his rising to life
again, in which we are raised to the life of your kingdom.
Grant us the gift of your Spirit, that we may know him and
make him known; and through him, at all times and in all
places, may give thanks to you in all things. Amen.
