Celebration isn't something we're meant to do alone. We are made to celebrate together, in community. The body of Christ celebrating God's goodness and all he has done for us, in us and through us, while learning to enjoy and celebrate the life he has given us.

In a new series focused on the Discipline of Celebration, we are taking a look at what it means to live a life of giving thanks. The Bible is full of encouragement to give thanks the Lord, to live with gratitude, and to not forget what the Lord has done. Even in Jesus invitation to communion, he says it is about remembering him, remembering what he has done, who he is, and his sacrifice. When we give thanks to God we redirect our attention to Him, off of ourselves, off of our problems, off of our concerns, and toward His plan, His purpose, and His presence.
