Interfaith Thanksgiving Service - Nov 20

The Franklin Interfaith Council will hold its annual Thanksgiving Service on Sunday, November 20, at 7 p.m. at the First Universalist Society in Franklin, 262 Chestnut Street. This year Temple Etz Chaim is hosting the Service. Everyone is welcome, and all are invited to attend.

According to one Council member, "The Thanksgiving Service is one of the loveliest community events of the year." We gather together as people of many faiths to celebrate and give thanks for the countless blessings in our lives through readings, reflection, and special musical presentations.

One very special part of the Service is the opportunity to make a free-will offering to the Franklin Fuel Assistance Fund, which provides relief with winter heating costs to local families in need.

The Thanksgiving Service is meaningful to so many, and is a wonderful way to begin to the Holiday Season. The church, which is handicap accessible, has ample parking. Please join us.

Last year, we made history with The Great Thanksgiving Listen. More than 100,000 Americans took part in our drive to preserve the stories and voices of an entire generation over the Thanksgiving weekend. Working with teachers and students, we preserved tens of thousands of intergenerational stories in the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress using the free StoryCorps app. Hear from StoryCorps Founder and President Dave Isay in this 2016 TED Talk about #TheGreatListen pilot year and some of the incredible stories it generated.  This November, download the app, invite a family member or elder to sit with, and join us in preserving more precious wisdom than ever before.

Franklin Federated Church to Host Franklin Interfaith Council Thanksgiving Service Sunday, November 22, 2015 – 7 pm

People of faith in the Franklin community have a long-standing tradition of gathering annually for an Interfaith Thanksgiving worship service. Sponsored by the Franklin Interfaith Council, this year’s Thanksgiving Service will be held on Sunday evening, November 22 at 7 pm at Franklin Federated Church. 

Thanksgiving Service and Prayer

The Interfaith Thanksgiving service is a shared celebration and remembrance for the blessings in our lives for which we are grateful. The service is a wonderful occasion for people of various faith backgrounds to come together as an interfaith community to give thanks for the goodness in our lives and express our gratitude for God’s blessings. 

The community gathers in worship to share some readings, reflections and prayers from Franklin’s clergy leaders and to enjoy special musical offerings by the Franklin Interfaith Choir. The service opens our eyes to the various faith communities within Franklin and reminds us of the religious freedom we enjoy in America. 

The event also provides the opportunity to support Franklin’s Fuel Assistance program administered by the Interfaith Council. A free-will offering will be received to fund this important resource to help Franklin families pay their heating bills during the winter months. 

As we express our thanks we also remember those within our community who are financially stressed and need a helping hand. Checks may be made payable to the Franklin Interfaith Council. Your generosity is encouraged! 

Join with your fellow Franklinites of faith on Sunday evening, November 22nd to give thanks with a grateful heart. Amen.
