Dear Allen Temple Family and Friends,
Hoping this note finds each of you well! November is here and and our word and text for the month is: GRATITUDE! (Colossians 3:15-17)
As we continue Living Triumphantly Through Christ, I want to invite you to spend this month with me being intentional about recognizing God's goodness and expressing gratitude, not only in what we say, but in how we live daily.
This time of year can bring its own challenges. The change of seasons, shorter days, the holidays, and memories of loved ones can make this a sensitive season for many. My hope is that this challenge will encourage our hearts, and strengthen our walk with God and one another.
Beginning November 1, every member of our Allen Temple family, friends and beyond is invited to join me for 30 Days of Living Gratefully! During the month, we will have an opportunity to RECOGNIZE. EXPRESS. PRACTICE. LIVE.
No registration is required. Just a willingness and a commitment to participate. We will share weekly challenges and daily opportunities through our church communications. Invite someone to join you. This is something the entire family can participate including our children and youth.
I believe the practice of gratitude blesses us in immeasurable ways. Will you join me? We start November 1.
With gratitude,
