This message is a challenge to look at what most would call a “bad year” and look at how we can be thankful for all that came along during the year. What have we learned? What have we seen in ourselves that showed up and surprised us. How have we reacted to different things throughout the year.

I think this year has shown us some things about us and about our church that we need to talk about and bring to the surface. We need to deal with them as followers of Jesus Christ. How can we do that if we are stuck in our opinions and political viewpoints? "Thankful for 2020" brings this right to the surface and we confront it in ourselves. WE can do better and we must.
