Often it can be difficult to maintain an attitude of thankfulness. With Thanksgiving approaching, this issue of LinC helps us explore new ways of expressing our thankfulness and sharing with others out of that gratitude. Key Scriptures: Deuteronomy 8:1-20; Matthew 26:26-30; Deuteronomy 24:17-22; Matthew 19:16-30. Next week is Christ the King Sunday on our lectionary calendar, so the next issue of LinC will explore the divinity of Jesus and how we can help teens regard Jesus as King.
