JOHN

Good Morning! I'm John Branning the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. Let me begin first by wishing a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the Meridian area. Many today will gather with family and friends and celebrate this holiday with plenty of food and laughter. We may even have a little nostalgia today as we remember past Thanksgivings and the wonderful memories that we have of the people and places that made it so special. However, the true purpose of this holiday is for us to stop and give thanks to our God for all the blessings that he has given unto us. We have been blessed beyond measure, and I hope we are able to see all that God has given us.

I do hope that this year we will not hoard these blessing for ourselves. We should share with others that have less than us. Let us share a meal, a prayer and a good word to those in need. We are commanded to love God and our neighbor as ourselves. I invite you to come live a life that is thankful with us at Central.
