Saratoga Ministerial Association Plans Community Interfaith Thanksgiving Service

The Saratoga Community Interfaith Thanksgiving Service will take place 10 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 22 at Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church, 13601 Saratoga Ave.

The 47th annual observance is sponsored by the Saratoga Ministerial Association, which partners with the City of Saratoga to promote numerous give-back-to-the-community service projects.

As in years past, the service falls on Thanksgiving Day, making it extra special for participants who join together in singing, praying and fellow-shipping. The ceremony includes singing of hymns, the reading of a Thanksgiving prayer by different clergy and the reading of Hebrew, Christian scripture and choir performances.

"All members of the community are welcome," said Saratoga Councilmember Howard Miller.
