150 Year Old Interfaith Thanksgiving
On Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 27, at 11 am, Asbury First will be hosting the annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Day Service. This service is the longest running of its kind in the United States, having begun in the post-civil war years. Clergy from the Jewish, Muslim, Unitarian, and Baptist congregations met to plan this year's service. A shofar will be blown, scripture from the Koran will be read, there will be prayer all in the spirit of gratitude for all of the blessings we have been given, and for the blessing of being able to worship as one, respecting each other and our varied and diverse traditions. All people are welcome.
