Thanksgiving Reflection from Deacon Greg Kandra

"A lot of us know the story.

"It was the autumn of 1621. In Plymouth, Massachusetts, after a rich harvest, the men, women and children who had survived the first year in the New World gathered for a feast to offer thanks.

"One of the pilgrims wrote at the time: 'By the goodness of God, we are so far from want.'"

Deacon Greg Kandra recently re-offered a reflection on Thanksgiving and on being grateful during challenging times.
