The annual Interfaith Community Thanksgiving Service will be held this year at the United Church tonight, November 18 at 7 PM. Since the United Church is the host, Fr. Rome of St. Luke's will speak. There will be participants from other faith traditions. We will sing traditional Thanksgiving songs, and music will be provided by Patti Smith of the United Church and Bob Bessette from St. Luke's.
Refreshments and fellowship will follow. All community members are invited.
The offering is a non-perishable food item for our local food shelf.
Below are some photos taken at last year's event:
