<div dir="ltr">Thank you for this and a Blessed Thanks Giving Time. <div>I have just opened up some interest or a small can of worms by suggesting that the new Earth Care Magazine that we are publishing monthly might consider an edition of ways the Two Storey Universe perspective of some of our hymns, readings, and scripture effect Earth Care and our perception of the "World". Kathy Downey asked for more info and one gal had not heard the term. Any suggestions on clarifying. Our new Resident Associate Pastor is on board with pursuing such a topic and the need to move with care for people's strong feelings. What is the most helpful way to proceed in your experience?

<div style="font-weight:normal">Last Sunday, Thanksgiving Sunday (also the Reign of Christ in the Christian Liturgical Calendar), I led Second Presbyterian Church's (St. Louis) Sunday Forum Group, reflecting on Giving Thanks, the Spirit of Gratitude. During the week before the participants were invited to write down/keep a mini journal (list, words, poetry, art, etc.) of their experiences of gratitude each day. </div>
<div style="font-weight:normal"><br clear="none">

<div style="font-weight:normal">The first 15 minutes of the session was prayer and context and the rest was conversation reflecting on our experiences of gratitude.</div>
<div style="font-weight:normal"><br clear="none">

<div>As we participate on this nation's observance of Thanksgiving, I thought I would share this session with you for your own refection and observations of your experiences of gratitude. So, <span style="font-weight:bold">attached</span> is a synopsis of the session.</div>
