The Messy History of Thanksgiving, A Thanksgiving Benediction, and Why Green Been Casserole is the Best Side Dish
Thanksgiving is the perfect time for holiday-themed reruns, so that’s exactly what we’re offering you today! Join Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon as she covers a cornucopia of topics from the creation of our national holiday and the origins of green bean casserole to the real story behind the first Thanksgiving. The truth might be messier and more complicated than our narrative of fellowship and unity, but together, we can create a fuller, more inclusive table where all are welcome.
