Prayer of Approach for Thanksgiving Day

We come to you, O God,
in thanksgiving for the gift of our beautiful land,
a land whose harvest feeds us and can feed the world.
We come to you in thanksgiving for the gift of faith,
the faith known to us here in this place.
We come to you in thanksgiving most of all
for the gift of your Son, Jesus Christ.
Be with us now that we may truly worship you. Amen.
