Multigenerational Bread Service: A Feast in Community
Service Leaders: Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray
Sunday, November 20 at 9:30 AM & 11:15 AM

| In honor of the feast day of Thanksgiving, everyone is invited to bring a grain-based staple (tortillas, challah, brown bread, muffins, idlis, injera, naan, fry bread, etc) to share with the community. As we bring gifts reflective of our family traditions, we nurture a greater awareness of the beauty and diversity of our own community. |
