    Thanksgiving: Me to We - A Sermon on Matthew 22:1-14
    Oct 13 2026
    Thanksgiving is a time when families and friends gather to share love and togetherness through food and fellowship. Yet, it seems that many of our modern ways of expressing thanksgiving are focused on individual statements of gratitude rather than communal belonging and blessings. This Thanksgiving weekend, the Rev. Dr. Michael Brooks reflects on how the experience of the Christian church, Jesus' parable of the wedding banquet in Matthew 22:1-14, and the reminders to Israel in Deuteronomy 8:7-18 offer a form of thanksgiving that expands our perspective from "me" to "we."

    Theologian Diana Butler Bass says, "Giving thanks is the primary communal emotion of Christianity." It's an emotion that we see in our prayers together and in the church's oldest traditions of meal-sharing: Commuion, or the Eucharist, and a reminder that the "Me to We" mindset is much, much older than the not-for-profits, campus organizations and various self-help books that have grown in recent years. How might we embrace this mindset in the Thanksgiving season?
