CHURCH: An interfaith service of gratitude

I enjoy visiting different churches and experiencing the settings that people consider conducive to reflection and worship, from the unadorned simplicity of Quaker meetinghouses to the stained glass, marble, woodwork and statues at the freshly renovated St. Patrick's Roman Catholic church in Kennett Square. And members of many local churches will be coming together for an interfaith Thanksgiving service at Westminster Presbyterian Church on Route 202, West Chester, from 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday, November 17. The "service of gratitude in song, prayer, and word" will be followed by "light refreshments and outreach family activity." The event is sponsored by the West Chester Religious and Spiritual Council, and all are welcome.
