More than any other holiday, Thanksgiving is associated with food. Yes, there are the hot dogs and hamburgers of Memorial Day and Fourth of July cookouts. There is the red velvet cake of Juneteenth. There’s even the goose of a Dickens Christmas. But our American Thanksgiving is all about food—and lots of it. Many take gratitude off the menu entirely, simply calling it “Turkey Day.” Stuffing is on the menu—a word both for what we are eating and what we are doing.

This year, food has been front and center throughout November in a different way. We as a congregation, as a city, and as a nation have been more aware than we usually are of the reality that so many face hunger each day. As individuals and as a congregation, our concern about this has led to concrete and significant action.

But how then should we understand the words of Jesus: “Woe to you are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry?”

Scripture Lesson: Deuteronomy 8:12-18;Luke 6:17-26
