Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day, presently celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, has been an annual tradition in the United States since 1863.
The First Thanksgiving was celebrated to give thanks to God for helping the pilgrims survive the brutal winter. The first Thanksgiving feast lasted three days providing enough food for 53 pilgrims and 90 Indians. The traditional Thanksgiving menu often features turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie.

What if we could import the "Thanksgiving Concept from the US instead of all the terrible Halloween traditions that Sweden has swallowed as is... Why does the pure and clean have such a hard time to really root itself in Sweden?! Well, well... The Amritzer family do celebrate "Thanksgiving" pretty often really... Thank you God for 2009!
SOS Church Stockholm was born August 29th! Before this week is over we have baptized 19 people and maybe even 20 new believers in our little church plant. God is good!
