A Note From Mariners Mission Viejo

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.  PSALM 100:4

It was Abraham Lincoln who established Thanksgiving Day as a national holiday in October 1863. He determined our country would set aside this special day in order to give “Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.”

This proclamation came in the midst of the Civil War. There was discord throughout the nation and a prevailing sense of division that seemed beyond resolution. Yet the directive was clear: that we should be active, intentional and faithful in giving thanks to God.

We invite you to join us tonight at 6:30 p.m. as we gather as a church family for our Thanksgiving Eve service. Come as we give praise and glory to our loving and constant God.
