11/20/22 Changing Perspectives on Thanksgiving

Worship Leader: Dr. Kharma Amos
Music by: Nell Britton

As we approach the US celebration of Thanksgiving, we have yet another opportunity to approach this holiday with thoughtfulness and care. Our colonial history makes dominant narratives about “that first Thanksgiving” fairly troublesome, but we have the capacity to change the narrative to more accurately reflect the experiences not only of “settlers” but the original indigenous peoples as well.
