We all want Thanksgiving dinner to be a meaningful experience with family and friends, but many of us don’t exactly know what to do. And so we’re thrilled that Kellye and the team have created a simple and yet beautiful Table liturgy to help create holy space in our homes this Thanksgiving.

After you download the file, print it front/back and fold in half. That’s it! The goal is to create an intentional space to turn our gratitude for life toward the Giver of life. Feel free to use this liturgy in any way that could help. Happy Thanksgiving.
“To be grateful is to recognize the Love of God in everything He has given us–and He has given us everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him.
“Gratitude therefore takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God. For the grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And that is what makes all the difference.”
(Thomas Merton)
My family normally takes turns saying something we are thankful for, which is nice. But yesterday, we used your liturgy instead and appreciated worshiping, praying, and reading Scripture together. The introverts who don’t like the spotlight were especially appreciative 🙂
Thank you for providing this. We are using it this Thanksgiving. As we share around our table. So grateful for The Practice.
