Thanksgiving

Praying in Color - Sybil MacBeth Why Pray in Color?
1) You want to pray but words escape you. 2) Sitting still and staying focused in prayer are a challenge. 3) Your body wants to be part of your prayer. 4) You want to just hang out with God but don’t know how. 5) Listening to God feels like an impossible task . 6) Your mind wanders and your body complains. 7) You want a visual, concrete way to pray.  8) You Need a new way to pray.  **FREE "Gratitude Gobbler" pdfs here.

Thankful Heart Coloring Pages -​Before Advent begins with everything that the Christmas season brings, Thanksgiving can be a perfect moment for practicing gratitude. 
These coloring pages are great for all ages, and you can use them to keep little and big hands busy while the turkey is roasting, and family and friends are gathering. We invite you to take a moment to sit together, color, and reflect.

SALT's Brief Theology of Thanksgiving - Why be grateful this day?  And what is it's history?
We offer curated Christian faith formation resources,
so you don't have to scour the internet yourself.
