On behalf of local Christian Scientists, Monday evening I officiated (with a range of others from every faith group) in the Area Religious Communities (ARC) Interfaith Thanksgiving service in Danbury, and last night I offered the blessing for the Ridgefield Clergy Association’s community interfaith service in Ridgefield, Connecticut. 

But my favorite Thanksgiving service is our own offered right on Thanksgiving in Christian Science churches world-wide. You would be most welcome to any local Church of Christ, Scientist in person tomorrow, or you can enjoy an online service tomorrow at 12:00 noon. Find that live internet service by clicking here. Please join us in thanking God!
