United Church to Host Thanksgiving Day Worship Service

United Church of Marco Island invites residents, seasonal neighbors, families, and island visitors to begin Thanksgiving Day with worship at 10:00 AM in the church sanctuary.

The 45-minute service will center on the theme “Remembering the Giver” and will include familiar Thanksgiving hymns, Scripture readings, and prayers of gratitude.

“Thanksgiving gives us an opportunity to pause before the celebrations begin and remember the source of every blessing,” said Pastor Ed. “Whether people come with hearts overflowing with gratitude or carrying grief, loneliness, or concern for someone they love, they will be warmly welcomed. Together, we will give thanks for God’s faithfulness and consider how our gratitude can become generosity toward others.”

Inspired by Scripture’s call to remember God in times of abundance, the service will encourage worshipers to receive life’s blessings with humility and share them with generosity. The message will emphasize that Christian thanksgiving is more than naming what we have received—it is allowing gratitude to shape how we welcome, serve, and care for others.

The service is open to the entire community. No reservations are required.
