Words of Gratitude 2023

I Give Thanks

I give thanks for being warmly received into life together in this congregation;

for the stirring beauty of music and words offered in praise to God;

for places new to me to witness the glory of God in creation;

for family at a distance geographically but ever close in my heart and prayers;

for ongoing newness of life in Christ and the growth edges that brings

….and for more things daily than I could ever name.

Pastor Tim


I am grateful

I am grateful for God's provision. Through a year with unexpected ups and downs, God has faithfully given me, my family, and our church everything we've needed.

Pastor Chris

I am thankful…

I am thankful to be a part of this church at this time of transition and change. I know that God calls us to grow and change – He is a creative God and He made us in his image – to also be creative. I am excited about what God is doing here at our church – what He is creating and making new! So I am thankful that I get to be a part of it – thankful that I get to grow and change. And thankful that through my engagement, I am getting to know so many people more and to see Jesus in their lives. We are a beautiful mosaic of God’s people right here in Attleboro. Praise God from whom all blessing flow. Praise him all creatures here below!

Tim Paul

I find myself thankful

I find myself thankful when I least expect it. A conversation with an acquaintance that goes deep and is meaningful. Bowing my head to lead a prayer with others, wondering if I will find the right words and have the courage to say them - and God helps put them in my heart. Opportunities to look at situations in a new way and gain a new perspective. These are things I am grateful for and give thanks.  Praise God!

I am thankful

The act of being thankful is something we should always begin and end our day with. I am thankful for my family for our grandchildren, our kids and spouses. I am grateful that I am able to help care for my Dad and Pat. I am grateful for Scott for his companionship and his love. I am grateful for our church and the opportunities we are given to serve.

I am grateful

I am grateful for God’s transformative work in me, in my family, in our church, in the homeless ministry I serve with… Pretty much everywhere I go, God is there. Sometimes, my expectation was not met and I have been tempted to ask "where is God?" But at the end of the day, I know that it could have been worse if God is not here. And, ultimately, I would be without hope.
