Did You Know?

The first Thanksgiving was held in the autumn of 1621 and included
50 Pilgrims and 90 Wampanoag Indians and lasted three days. Many
historians believe that only five women were present at that first
Thanksgiving, as many women settlers didn't survive that difficult first year
in the U.S.
No forks at the first Thanksgiving! The first Thanksgiving was eaten
with spoons and knives — but no forks! That's right, forks weren't even
introduced to the Pilgrims until 10 years later and weren't a popular utensil
until the 18th century.

Prayer of the Week
Almighty God, we see the needs of many people in the world around us. We
thank you for the efforts of WELS Christian Aid and Relief in helping care for
people in need and for the opportunities to share the good news about Jesus
along with the aid we give. Open our hearts to give generously so that many
more may receive the physical and spiritual relief they so desperately need.
Amen.
