Thanksgiving
President Abraham Lincoln instituted the Thankgiving holiday in 1863 during the Civil War. However, he did not have the harvest in mind. He wanted Americans to celebrate the holiday as a sign of unity and thanksgiving to God.
“I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens”
(President Abraham Lincoln, Proclamation, October 3, 1863).
Praying for family during November
All Soul's Day is November 2. We would like to pray for your deceased family members throughout the month. If you'd like us to include them in our daily prayers, please send names and relationship to your child to me in your child's communication envelope.
Veteran's Day is November 11. Also, throughout November we will pray for our Veterans. If you'd like us to include your family members, again, send names, relationship to your child, branch of military service.
Peace be with you - Miss Talbot
