All Invited to South Windsor's Nov. 24 Thanksgiving Interfaith Service

Local faith communities are coming together to host a special Interfaith Thanksgiving Service aimed at fostering unity, gratitude, and community connection. This annual service will take place on Tuesday, November 24^th at 7 p.m. at Unity of Greater Hartford at 919 Ellington Rd. in South Windsor.

As Thanksgiving approaches, this collaborative service will bring together leaders and congregants from diverse religious traditions to share prayers, music, and reflections centered on a common theme of gratitude.

Those participating to date are: Rev. Christine Boylan and Rev Deborah Giddings of Unity of Greater Hartford; Cantor Talya Smilowitz of Temple Beth Hillel; Rev. Mark Abernethy of Wapping Community Church; Pastor Dean M. Kucera of First Congregational Church of South Windsor; Very Reverend Martin Rooney of St. Margaret Mary/ St. Juniper Serra; Archbishop Dexter Burke of The Walk in the Light Church of God; Rabbi Alan Lefkowitz of Temple Beth Torah; Connecticut State Sen. Saud Anwar, M.D.; with others to be announced.

Worshipping in an interfaith community can remind people that we are here for each other, and with each other...especially now. By coming together as one community, we hope to send a powerful message of peace, mutual respect, and shared hope for the season ahead.

The service is free and open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to stay after the conclusion of the service for a dessert reception and fellowship.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving and giving back to the local community, a special free-will offering will be collected during the service. All proceeds and any non-perishable food items brought by attendees will directly benefit South Windsor Food Bank.
