Discussion Questions November 2008

Adults

How does your family celebrate Thanksgiving?  For what and for whom are you most grateful?

In some families, the rule at family gatherings is “Never discuss religion or politics.”  As your family gathers for Thanksgiving this year after a long and contentious national election campaign, what will you do to help foster healing and harmony around your table?

Stewardship is sometimes called “an attitude of gratitude.”  Has the current climate of economic upheaval and uncertainty affected your attitude in any way?  How?  Why?  What are the implications for stewardship?

Teens

What is the real difference between the two families in this month’s “new parable”?  Which is your family more like?

What are you grateful for this Thanksgiving?

Think of all your relationships, from your family to your friends at school.  Which do you value most?  Why?

Children

How do you celebrate Thanksgiving?  Is it at your house?  Do you go to someone else’s house for dinner?  What’s the best part of Thanksgiving for you?

Think of all the things you have – toys or games or books or bikes or sports equipment or anything else that’s yours.  If you could keep only three of those things, which ones would you choose?  Why?

This month’s “Kid’s Corner” has some prayers to say before meals.  Why not write one of your own to use on Thanksgiving Day?
