Throughout the New Testament, that Apostle Paul repeatedly thanked the churches to which he wrote.  He thanked them for all sorts of things in his letters.  Likewise, I’d like to take this opportunity on Thanksgiving day to tell all you guys at Fusion that I’m so very thankful for you.

I could go on and on about why I’m thankful for you all but the biggest single thing that comes to mind is the fact that you are willing to share the love of Jesus with other people.  The truth is that it’s not always easy to do that as a church.  It’s easier to just think about ourselves and what would bless us but I’m proud to say that’s not the way we do it at Fusion.  Tellingly, you guys have always done whatever it takes to make sure we reach out to others.  You all have worked so hard and I truly appreciate it.

I’m also very thankful for all the sacrifices you guys have made.  I see these sacrifices, both large and small, being made time and time again.  You have always stepped up when we’ve needed it.  And, because you’ve done that, we’ve been able to see lives changed by the power of God.  Again, I truly appreciate everything everyone has sacrificed to make Fusion the place that it is. 

I’m so grateful to be your pastor.  I pray each of you has a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
