The United Thank Offering has teamed up with Illustrated Ministry to offer free gratitude coloring books for adults and children, as well as formation and gratitude resources! They have several versions available in English and Spanish. The pages in the book follow the General Thanksgiving and celebrate the themes the Church continues to work on, Care of Creation, Racial Reconciliation, and the Way of Love.

This month on our Facebook and Instagram pages, we're embarking on a Sabbath Rest. Join us as we explore together practices around sabbath. Each morning on our social media will be an invitation, encouraging us through simple practices, scripture, or quotes to engage in Sabbath Rest.
