Church congregations in Joplin have continued to meet for worship - and give thanks - in the six months following the city's devastating tornado.

AMRITA JAYAKUMAR visited three faith congregations whose churches were destroyed by the tornado, but still meet for Sunday service. She asked them – what are you thankful for? – and files this Thanksgiving audio postcard from Joplin.
