Narrator: The authorities of the Church of England felt threatened by both of these growing movements toward religious freedom. They especially feared the Separatists, who were forming their own churches. So the governing House of Bishops sent spies and informers to many of these secret congregations, including the one at Scrooby.

Come before Him with joyful singing. Know that the Lord Himself is God. It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Barbara is the author of many books, including the one we’re listening to today. It’s called Thanksgiving: A Time to Remember. She wrote it as a way to help families understand some history — history related to the coming of the English to the American Colonies in the 17th century. And she wanted families to see the many ways God was providing for them in that difficult time.
