The Thanksgiving Address is the traditional prayer recited by the Iroquois or Haudenosaunee, a tribe of Native Americans that live in upstate New York, Wisconsin and Canada. These words were recited for thousands of years, often in the early morning hours as a gratitude practice to unite the minds of people with Nature. The following is an abbreviated translation of the Mohawk version, published by John Stokes and Kanawahienton in 1993. Read these words slowly. Allow them to remind you of all that you are grateful for in life, as well as the very gift of life itself. You may recite them in a group, as done by the Native American people, or by yourself, before greeting the day. Feel free to share this prayer with all the people that come on your path!

Church & Coffee
Are you curious about discovering more about the Christian faith? Join us for our monthly Church & Coffee, where we explore a different local church. We’ll visit a nearby church on the first Sunday of each month, to experience its unique atmosphere and message. After the service, we'll gather for a cozy coffee or tea session to reflect on what we've experienced, share our thoughts, and connect on a deeper level. It's a perfect way to enrich your Sunday with inspiration and community. Everyone is welcome, whether you're familiar with church traditions or exploring something new!
Discover some of the churches of Wageningen with a group of students and enjoy time together, celebrating and talking together afterward.
We will visit the Vineyard Gemeente Wageningen https://vineyardwageningen.site/
