The Mayor’s Interfaith Council is inviting the community to celebrate together this week, hosting an Interfaith Thanksgiving Service this Wednesday, November 20, 2024.
The service will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (8020 Covert Ave.). The Thanksgiving celebration will feature words from faith leaders across the community and a keynote address from Mayor Terry. Those attending can expect to enjoy beautiful music, encouraging fellowship, and light refreshments.
“This will be a wonderful night for community members of all faiths to come together and express their gratitude this Thanksgiving season.,” said Evansville Mayor Stephanie Terry. “I am looking forward to coming together with members of our community and celebrating all of the things we have to give thanks for this year.”
At the service, the Mayor’s Interfaith Council will host a winter accessory drive. Those planning on attending are encouraged to bring new gloves, hats, and socks to donate. All items will benefit EVSC students this holiday season.
The Mayor’s Interfaith Council consists of 13 faith leaders across the Evansville area. The council comes together to foster inclusivity in the community by hosting gatherings and educating residents. The group also works to address discrimination issues for all groups within the community. The Mayor’s Interfaith Council was established to show Evansville residents that differences in beliefs can bring people together rather than divide them.
