The Pursuit of Happiness - Nov. 23, 2014

But if happiness means the choices we have made, the wholeness of our lives, then Thanksgiving moves from being about accomplishment to about connection. To read the whole sermon, click here:

Thank you for being so prompt in getting this week's sermon up on the site. I stayed home under the weather today and i really appreciated being able to read it tonight. I liked your closing sentence in particular. Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday of mine and it frustrated me to stay home from the service and soup luncheon. I'm looking forward to the town-wide "gratitude service" in February. Thank you Pam Barz.
