The annual interfaith service this year will be quite extraordinary!
Along with representatives of the Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Sufi, Unitarian, several denominations of the Christian, and Native American spiritual traditions, this years program will feature several spiritual themes of Thanksgiving including “Forgiveness and Come-Unity.” The Bahá’í Children’s Choir of Gig Harbor, Leaves of One Tree, will be featured in the service, along with the traditional lighting of the Faith candles, presentation of Faith Symbols, and Russ Salton and Chris Gilbert of “Salton C” will provide 30 minutes of opening music starting at 6:30 along with a featured instrumental for the closing offering. This is a wonderful opportunity for the Bahá’ís to demonstrate their passion for building the spiritual community for which Bahá’u’lláh has charged us. Could there be a better place or time to share peace and unity and Thanksgiving with peoples of so many of the Great Faith’s gathered in a truly interfaith event?
