We want to provide both practical and insightful ways to grow in gratitude and thanksgiving. Everyone should leave with tools to help them grow in gratitude. What to bring: Bring your Bible, journal and coffee mug. We will provide a Kureg with a verity of drinks and you can bring your cup and take it home with you (so we don't have dishes to do). You can also bring a friend. Meeting Location 610 Abington St. Peoria IL 61603 rodneydrury@gmail.com 309 215-2431 MAP
