You lavishly pour out your blessings into our lives, and have filled us with good things. Yet, Lord, we confess that we do not always recognize your blessings because we are often striving for more than we need. And as such, we sometimes forget how much we already have, causing us to neglect to give you thanks. Forgive us we pray. Open the eyes of our hearts to see how richly you have blessed us, so we will express our gratitude to you daily. Hear the good news: God has generously given us all we need for life, for which we are to give thanks. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. “SO LONG AS THE WORK IS DONE”: RECOVERING JANE GOODWIN AUSTIN by KARI HOLLOWAY MILLER Under the Direction of Janet Gabler-Hover, PhD ABSTRACT The American author Jane Goodwin Austin published 24 novels and numerous short stories in a variety of genres between 1859 and 1892. Austin’s most popular works focus on her Pilgrim ancestors, and she is often lauded as a notable scholar of Puritan history who carefully researched her subject matter; however, several of the most common myths about the Pilgrims seem to have originated in Austin’s fiction. As a writer who saw her work as her means of entering the public sphere and enacting social change, Austin championed women and religious diversity. The range of Austin’s oeuvre, her coterie of notable friendships, especially amongst New England elites, and her impact on American myth and culture make her worthy of in-depth scholarly study, yet, inexplicably, very little critical work exists on Austin.

  • Nauset Interfaith Association Post Office Box 306 South Orleans, MA 02662
    Nauset Interfaith Association Post Office Box 306 South Orleans, MA 02662 November, 2020 Dear Friends of Nauset Interfaith, It has been a tradition for several years now for our association to host a Thanksgiving service. I’m sure many of you remember last year’s wonderful offering at St. Joan of Arc Roman Catholic Church in Orleans. Sadly, in these pandemic times, an in-person service was not possible so we took to recording a service which our individual faith communities are distributing. This year has heightened importance as 2020 marks the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower’s arrival in Provincetown Harbor, and it is fitting to reflect on their faith and perseverance. Soon after the Mayflower arrived, the English separatists began exploring nearby places with a sometimes callous lack of courtesy and respect for the Native people living there. As the Co-Presidents of Nauset Interfaith we felt it essential to not focus solely on the traditional Pilgrim-centered accounts of the era, but to recall with remorse and lament the enslavement, murder, and disease that Europeans inflicted on the Wampanoag people. It is for this reason we’ve prefaced our order of service with the article from the Provincetown Independent. Sincerely yours, Madalyn Hillis-Dineen, Co-President The Rev. Charles Nichols, Co-President Nauset Interfaith Association Nauset Interfaith Association [email protected] [email protected] 508/896-8829 603/531-0715 For Indigenous People, a Different Kind of Mayflower Story ‘You can’t create a colony without creating people who are colonized’ written by Josephine De La Bruyere and published in the Provincetown Independent, November 12, 2020.

    1 November 14, 2018 [email protected] This file contains a program for a Thanksgiving dinner. More materials are in the directory listing http://rasmusen.org/special/thanksgiving/ 1. The head of the household should read the current Presidential Proclamation if it’s any good. Trump 2017 is good. Trump 2018 is not out yet. If it’s not any good, read the most recent old one that’s tolerably good. 2. Everyone sings, “We’re Gathered Together to Ask the Lord’s Blessing.” Make multiple copies of this beforehand. Do not make one for each person; make one for each two people so they’ll be sociable and share. 2.5. The head of household should say a prayer. (2.3. Item 1 could go here if you have a lot of people and they’re serving themselves buffet style in a line past the food. The reading would be while people are serving themselves.) 3. Start eating. (Probably you have been cooking too long and everybody is famished.) For the next items, “the head” means the Head of Table, and each table is autonomous, going at its own rate. The Head of Table should tell people in advance if he wants them to read an item, so they will be ready mentally. 4. After a while, the Head of Table should read the 1621 Winslow story of the first Thanksgiving or appoint someone else to do it. 5. At intervals that seem appropriate to the Head of Table, appoint divers other people to read the other readings: the 1676 First Proclamation, Psalm 100, the 1789 Washington Proclamation, the 1777 Proclamation.

  • PRESIDENTIAL THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATIONS 1990-1999: George Bush, William J
    PRESIDENTIAL THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATIONS 1990-1999: George Bush, William J. Clinton Proclamation 6229 of November 14, 1990 THANKSGIVING DAY, 1990 BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, A PROCLAMATION In the first Presidential Thanksgiving Day proclamation, George Washington observed that "it is the Duty of all Nations to acknowledge the Providence of Almighty God, to obey his Will, to be grateful for his Benefits, and humbly to implore His Protection and Favor." As a people who have long enjoyed unparalleled material prosperity and the priceless blessings of peace and freedom, we Americans cannot fail to fulfill this great, yet joyous, duty. Thus, we pause each year on Thanksgiving Day to express our gratitude for the goodness and generosity of our Creator and to ask His continued protection and guidance in all our endeavors, both as individuals and as a Nation. The observance of Thanksgiving was a cherished tradition in America long before George Washington called his countrymen "to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be." Indeed, we trace the tradition of giving thanks back to some of the earliest settlers in this country - not only the Pilgrims at Plymouth but also early colonists at Jamestown, New Amsterdam, and St. Augustine. With hands clasped in prayer and hearts full of gratitude, these men and women gave public thanks to God for having been sustained through times of hardship and peril. William Bradford’s account of the experience of the settlers at Plymouth Colony is not only a moving description of the trials of emigration to a wilderness but also captures their profound faith and contains a timeless exhortation to succeeding generations: Being thus passed the vast ocean ..
