A community celebration of our common bonds of caring
Our annual Community Interfaith Thanksgiving Service will be held on Tuesday, November 21st, at 7:00 p.m. at the historic, downtown First United Methodist Church.
The Greater Santa Barbara Area Clergy Association, sponsor of this event, includes clergy and religious leaders from over 100 local faith communities. We come together to celebrate and reflect upon unity, peace, hope, prayers and blessings from our diverse religious traditions.
Participants will include representatives of the Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Unitarian, Catholic and Protestant traditions. Special music will be provided by Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket, and combined choirs, led by Cantor Mark Childs. A free-will offering will be collected for Foodbank of Santa Barbara County.
Refreshments and fellowship in the church hall will follow the service.
Guests are also encouraged to bring non-perishable packaged or canned goods for Foodbank, e.g., Brown/wild rice, dry beans, canned fruits, canned vegetables, canned beans, canned vegetarian chili, cereal, and instant coffee/tea bags.
