Thanksgiving Day at the Panama City Beach was a time for Georgia Praise Center–Atlanta to offer thanks and to gather as a big family. Our congregation enjoyed dinner and a time of wonderful fellowship together with turkey, Ayam Kalasan (Indonesian-style barbeque chicken), and lots of other foods. It was a day of relaxation surrounded by miles of stunning white sand and emerald green waters. The setting at Panama City Beach made our Thanksgiving a breeze. The beach is a great place to get holiday pictures, and we got some truly unique ones! The day was a chance to enjoy the beaches at perhaps their most lovely or for families to do a little special shopping together.
We counted the blessings of God who has guided us with grace for two years now (November 2010 until November 2012)! If you had spent the day on Panama City Beach with us, you would have seen how our brothers and sisters are a blessing for each other. Our members all responded the same way: “We are so grateful for this event!”
