Reformation Sisters Thanksgiving Worship and Feast - November 23rd
New Goshenhoppen Church will host the Reformation Sister Congregations on Sunday, November 23 beginning at 4:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary with Thanksgiving Worship. We are grateful to have our beloved Conference Minister – Rev. William P. Worley as our guest preacher in one of his final duties in the PSEC.
Following a festive service, a catered Thanksgiving Feast by Moyer’s will be held in Fellowship Hall. We are asking for delicious Thanksgiving desserts to be brought to be shared that evening. This dinner is made possible through the gifts of the Lenten Series as we invite the entire community to come and feast with us! Reservations are requested by signing up on the bulletin board in the Fellowship Area or by calling the Church Office by Monday, November 17th.

In the fall of 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued two landmark statements. The first was the famous Gettysburg Address in which Lincoln commemorated the battle field of Gettysburg. The other statement, made just weeks before, may be a bit more surprising. On October 3, 1863, President Lincoln instituted the first official Thanks giving holiday.
Lincoln wrote, “It has seemed to me fit and proper that (the gracious gifts of the Most High God) should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American people.” Thus, Lincoln set apart the last Thursday of November as “a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father.” Apparently, in the midst of the worst war our nation had ever seen, Lincoln thought the time was ripe for gratitude.
