Grade 3 & 4 students have been learning about festivals.
Last Sunday we studied the American festival of Thanksgiving Day and the reason behind it.
Thanksgiving Day this year falls on Thursday 22nd November and was first celebrated in 1863 when the great American President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens."
Thanksgiving Day is usually celebrated with a big meal (traditionally roast turkey) and thinking about the things we should be thankful for.
Here are my top 3 things I am thankful for.
1. God sent His son Jesus to die for me
2. God has blessed me with a wonderful family and good friends.
3. I have food in the cupboard and clean water to drink.
What are your top 3 things to be thankful for? Post on here and the best post will be awarded a prize on Sunday at the Grade 5, 6 & 7 family service. Entries will close at 10.00 am on Friday morning.
You must be there on Sunday to claim your prize.
Looking forward to your posts!
