The 2nd letter to the church at Thessalonica begins with what might be considered the "typical" greetings of an ancient epistle. But the gratitude that saturates this passage is not at all typical in our world.  For what are we most deeply grateful? And how do we lean into our gratitude? Please join us on this last Sunday in October, when we remember the Reformation of the Christian faith that encouraged our deep gratitude of scripture and reminded us of God's gift of new beginnings.
