JONATHAN
Good morning! I’m Jonathan Crabtree, Pastor for Student Ministry at Central United Methodist Church in downtown Meridian. Well, it’s the day before Thanksgiving! You might have a few things on your mind such as tomorrow’s menu, traveling, or perhaps those Black Friday sales! Whatever the case may be, don’t forget to GIVE THANKS!
While this may be an exciting and busy time of year for some, this is the most difficult time of year for others; because it may be the first time a loved one will not be at the Thanksgiving dinner. Perhaps it may be more than the first time without a loved one. Perhaps this is a difficult time for you. Know that you are not alone in your grief, and know that I, along with the staff and congregation at Central, join you in grief. In Paul’s letter to the Romans, he encourages them to rejoice with those who rejoice, and to mourn with those who mourn. As this day is difficult for some, let us give thanks and honor those people who are no longer here with us.
