Thanksgiving Sing Praise

In recognition of the Thanksgiving season, several churches of the Wabash Valley are coming
together to plan a community Thanksgiving Sing Praise service. Several choirs from area
churches will share their musical gifts in addition to the traditional hymns that are sung. To
create this time of community worship, we need you the community to join us and lift
your voices in praise. This special service will be on Sunday, November 20 at 3:004:30 pm
at Memorial United Methodist Church . The Psalmist wrote: I come to your altar, O Lord, singing a song of
thanksgiving and telling of all your wonders (Psalm 26:6b-7). Join in on November 20th as we sing a common
song of thanksgiving and gratitude and as we share the wonders of the Lords blessings.

in the CHRISTMAS COMMUNITY THEATER PLAY
will be offered at a group rate (20 or more).
