We are interrupting our ongoing festive Christmas programming here on the Do Gooders Podcast to bring you something different, something special—a seven-day Scripture study in the lead up to Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving is a time where families, friends, even strangers, gather around tables to share meals and fellowship, offering thanks to God for his abundant blessings in their lives.  But what if we celebrated Thanksgiving and every meal as the early Church of Acts did? While it’s my voice you’ll be hearing, this study was written by Major Nancy Helms, a former guest on the show, who serves as The Salvation Army Western Territorial Director of Disabilities Ministries and Director of Personnel for the College for Officer Training at Crestmont.   Each of the next seven days will include part of the study along with a reading of the day’s Scripture selection and a closing prayer. I hope it will serve as a meditative moment for you as you prepare your heart and home for this Thanksgiving.   This is part one by Major Nancy Helms. EPISODE SHOWNOTES: Read more.
