The Gathering Room

November 23
Does your home have a gathering room? Terminology changes over time. If you are shopping for a home your realtor my show you a home with a bonus room, a keeping room, a great room, a hearth room...probably won't refer to the parlor anymore, but they may rave about the gathering room. More times than not, I think the kitchen becomes the gathering room in homes!
Wherever you gather this Thanksgiving, remember God has designed you for a purpose and has something for you to offer! You may have baked a pie, brought flowers for the table, be the lap to hold a baby, the one to take out the trash or maybe you will be sitting by the bedside of a loved one, simply holding their hand in a time of need.

1 Corinthians 14:26
So here's what I want you to do. When you gather for worship, each one of you be prepared with something that will be useful for all: Sing a hymn, teach a lesson, tell a story, lead a prayer, provide an insight.

Psalm 111:1
Hallelujah! I give thanks to God with everything I've got— Wherever good people gather, and in the congregation. God's works are so great, worth A lifetime of study—endless enjoyment! Splendor and beauty mark his craft; His generosity never gives out. His miracles are his memorial— This God of Grace, this God of Love.

Lyrics for hymn...We Gather Together
  1. We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
    He chastens and hastens His will to make known;
    The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing;
    Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own.
  2. Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
    Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
    So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
    Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine!
  3. We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant,
    And pray that Thou still our Defender will be;
    Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
    Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!
