Celebration and Thanksgiving — Throughout the Bible, God's people celebrated after significant work was completed. We celebrate not to boast, but to give thanks to God for His gifts and to recognize our growth.

Scripture Connection

"Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs." — Psalm 100:1-2
