The annual Sedan Ministerial Alliance Community Thanksgiving Service will be held on Sunday, Nov. 23 at 6 p.m., at the Epiphany Episcopal Church, Walnut at Spruce Streets, in Sedan. The public is cordially invited and encouraged to attend this important celebratory event as we give thanks to Almighty God for His many blessings and love for us.

Pastor Gordon Wilhite, Associate Pastor at the First Christian Church of Sedan, will be the speaker. Special and congregational music will be led by Cathy Chamberlain, accompanied by Sally Sturges. Rev. Dr. J. Dean McNamara, president, will lead the thanksgiving worship service.

A love offering to support the ongoing work of the Ministerial Alliance Emergency Fund will be received in the thanksgiving service. Worshippers are also asked to bring non-perishable food items (such as canned and boxed foods) and other items (personal grooming items, etc.) to help support the Ministerial Alliance food pantry to help the needy. All monetary and food gifts stay in Chautauqua County, to support “the least of these, our brothers” (ref. Matthew 25:31ff).

A reception in the church fellowship hall will follow the thanksgiving service. Refreshments will be provided by the host church.
