The theme of this children's program from the "Ten Minute Praise" series is giving thanks to God and features Scripture readings about being thankful and giving praise to God as recorded by both the Old and New Testament writers. In addition to the Bible readings, four songs are included and interspersed throughout the narrative to emphasize the aspects of giving thanks encouraged by the authors of Scripture. This program is a delightful celebration of gratitude and praise suitable anytime of year and especially during the Thanksgiving season. This book includes everything needed for one complete performance: director's score and program outline, both reproducible for teachers, parents, and children.
