Dear Kingsway Family,
November is our Season of Gratitude: A time to pause, reflect, and give thanks for the goodness of God throughout the year. As a church family, this is our opportunity to embrace the spirit of thanksgiving together and to make gratitude not just a moment, but a lifestyle.
The Apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV):
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
This verse reminds us that thanksgiving is not dependent on circumstances; it’s a declaration of faith that God is good, God is faithful, and God is working all things together for our good.
The theologian W.T. Purkiser once wrote:
“Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.”
This month, let us not only count our blessings but also use them to bless others. Let our gratitude overflow in kindness, generosity, and acts of service that reflect the heart of Jesus.
And as Joyce Meyer wisely said:
“If you can manage to be thankful in every situation, really believing that God is working everything out for your good, you will end up with the victory every single time.”
Let us make this November a month of Thanksgiving in Action — remembering that THANKSGIVING = THANKS + GIVING = GIVING THANKS!
Important Dates to Remember:
Sunday, 2 November (17:00) – Thanksgiving Worship Evening: A special evening of worship and reflection as we begin our Thanksgiving Month together.
Friday, 7 November (19:00) – Ladies Night & Men’s Night: A night of inspiration, connection, and fun for men and women of all ages.
Sunday, 23 November (09:00) – Thanksgiving Sunday: Join us for a powerful service with special guest speaker Ps Rudi Coertzen (The AFM of SA National General Treasurer).
Sunday, 30 November (09:00) – Thanksgiving Sunday & Thanksgiving Offering: Come expectant as we welcome Prophet Zechariah Sharp and bring our Thanksgiving Offering before the Lord in worship.
Sunday, 30 November (17:00) – Thanksgiving Testimony Worship Evening: An evening of testimonies, praise, and thanksgiving as we celebrate what God has done in our lives and in our church family.
As you prayerfully prepare your Thanksgiving Offering, may the words of Psalm 116:16–17 (NLT) guide your heart:
“O Lord, I am your servant; yes, I am your servant, born into your household; you have freed me from my chains. I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord.”
Let this be a month where gratitude overflows, faith is strengthened, and God is glorified in every area of our lives.
With all our love and thanksgiving,
Dr Anthony, Chantelle & Lisa Jacobs
