Join us for the Interfaith Thanksgiving Celebration as we come together to give thanks for the blessings we have received.
Monday, November 22 | 7:00 – 8:00 pm
Join this event online. The livestream will be available at www.InterfaithUnderstanding.org at the time of the event.
Prayers, music, sacred writings, reflections, and meditation will be woven together with a common theme of gratitude from many traditions.
The human desire to express gratitude is felt among all religious traditions and in secular society. How people express thanksgiving takes many different shapes and styles. The Grand Rapids Interfaith Thanksgiving Celebration is an opportunity for people of diverse traditions to listen, to share, and to better understand one another. No one is asked to compromise their beliefs, just to come together and share their stories, their cultures, and their gratitude.
The Grand Rapids Interfaith Thanksgiving Celebration has been celebrated annually since the year 2000. The event is coordinated by and features participation from a variety of Christian denominations and representatives of Native American, Jewish, Muslim, Baha’i, Buddhist, Hindu, secular, and inclusive religious communities.
Join us for a celebration where many traditions and cultures will come together to give thanks for one another, even in the midst of uncertainty and division. Through song, dance, prayer, and storytelling we will share gratitude with and for our West Michigan neighbors.
