Churches gather to give thanks at special service
By Marianne Austin
The Coshocton community of faith was invited for an evening of celebration and praise on Nov . 16 at The Presbyterian Church of Coshocton . The service was titled Thanks Living Celebration and delivered an evening of singing together , worshiping together and praying together .
A contemporary praise band and a traditional choir came together , with scripture readings for an evening of praise and reflection on all that is good in the community and to remind everyone of everything to be thankful for . The congregation sang “ Come Ye Thankful People Come ” and “ Give Thanks ” with organist Alice Hoover .
This service was planned by six different congregations . Solid Rock Foursquare Church with Rev . Larry Massie provided praise , a Thanksgiving scripture and contemporary Christian music along with The Solid Rock Praise Team .
Rev . Deb Quillen and the choir from Grace United Methodist Church sang “ In This Very Room ” and “ Enter His Gates With Thanksgiving .”
Rev . Joe Sanders of the First Baptist Church , Pastor Mike Jansen of Coshocton Christian Tabernacle and Rev . Brian Kittner from Emmanuel Lutheran Church and members of various churches participated in the evening of praise and worship .
Rev . Stew Royce , the pastor of Central Christian Church , gave the word from Deuteronomy 8:10-18 , reminding people not to become too proud and forget the Lord their God , for it is he who gives the ability to produce wealth and so confirms his covenant , which he swore to your ancestors , as it is today .
“ Isn ’ t it true that Jesus is in this very room right now ?” Quillen said . “ We hope you will leave here filled as we celebrate and give thanks to God for all good things . We ’ re becoming family around here . Colossians 3:15-17 says , ‘ Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts , since as members of one body you were called to peace . And be thankful . Let the message of
Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms , hymns and songs from the Spirit , singing to God with gratitude in your hearts . And whatever you do , whether in word or deed , do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus , giving thanks to God the Father through him .’”
