As the holiday season approaches, an interfaith service is set for Wednesday evening in Evansville. WNIN’s John Gibson has a preview:
The Mayor’s Interfaith Council will host its second annual Thanksgiving Service at First Presbyterian Church on 2nd St. from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
Mayor Terry’s Communications Director Joe Atkinson says the service will bring together speakers and participants from a wide range of faith traditions and congregations from across the city.
The evening will feature readings, reflections, and prayers centered on gratitude, community, and shared responsibility for one another.
All community members are welcome, regardless of faith background or affiliation.
The Interfaith Council is also partnering with Feed Evansville on a Little Pantry Food Drive.
Attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable, shelf-stable items such as canned goods, boxed meals, peanut butter, rice, pasta, and personal care items.
Donations will be distributed to Little Pantries throughout the city in the days following the event.
