Thanksgiving is a civil holiday and not part of the liturgical year, nevertheless, it is an opportunity to reflect as a nation and to give thanks.  This special service of thanksgiving at First Presbyterian Church of Umatilla reflects on Matt 25:1-13 and the healing of the ten lepers.  Only one leper, appreciating the grace and mercy that he had received, returned to give thanks as an act of Worship to God.  In the same way, for us, gratitude for God's grace and love should be the heartbeat for our living.
