A Season of Gratitude
September 2018
With gratitude,
welcoming all and
sharing our blessings
WORLD GRATITUDE DAY
September 21, 2018
World Gratitude Day began in 1965 in Hawaii when an international gathering decided to have one day each year to formally express gratitude and appreciation throughout the world. Why not take some extra time this Friday to give thanks for all of your blessings and for the abundance throughout the world that we can all enjoy and share?

LECTIONARY READINGS (Old & New Testament Readings for the Week) Each week, Christians throughout the world read biblical passages from the Revised Common Lectionary, including the Old Testament, Psalms, New Testament, and Gospels. After three years, a good portion of the Bible is included and the cycle begins again. RCL passages are often read in church worship services, and Kahu Akana usually includes at least one of them on the following Sunday. This week’s readings are Proverbs 31:10-31; Psalm 1; James 3:13-4-9; Mark 9:30-37.
