Annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Service

On Thursday night we met to celebrate Thanksgiving in Norwich. One week before the official holiday Norwich Churches Together, our ecumenical church council, organized an interfaith Thanksgiving service. It was held at Grace Episcopal Church in Yantic. Our Praise team got everything going as they shared several songs as a prelude. They did a great job. Bev Goulet was the guest speaker and several clergy participated including Father Bob Lynch from St. Mary's, Rev. Ho Soon Han from Lee Memorial, Rev. Trish Cunningham of Christ Episcopal, Rabbi Charles Arian of Beth Jacob Synagogue and Rev. Dennis Doyle from Sts Peter and Paul.

Tom Hyland from Martin House also participated and told us about the ministry he is involved with to help the homeless. The proceeds from the offering was going to support his ministry. Afterwards the ladies of Grace Church hosted a fellowship hour and there were lots of goodies.

Here are a few photos of our praise team.
