The idea for a community-wide service of thanksgiving was discussed at a recent "Lunch with Pastor Kent" which is open to the public and takes place at First Congregational Church from noon to 1:00 PM on Wednesdays. Several people asked Rev. Schneider if he would organize an ecumenical worship service.
He contacted Sr. Lucie, Pastor Downing and Don Marble who were enthusiastically supportive of the idea and the word went out through the local churches. "Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of the year for our community to gather and give thanks for the abundant blessings we have received," comments Pastor Kent. "It is appropriate to celebrate the work of the Interfaith Food Pantry and the many volunteers who give of their time to help others. "
Prior to the Community Thanksgiving Service, there will be a 3:00 PM rehearsal for singers who will form a community choir under the direction of Louise Shields, organist and choir director at First Congregational Church UCC. Rev. Schneider, a professional trumpet player from New Orleans, is gathering brass players to accompany the hymns that will be sung.
