Interfaith Collection for the Hungry

For almost four decades, the Council of Religious Leaders of Metropolitan Chicago has conducted the annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Observance hosted and co-sponsored by the Chicago Temple at First United Methodist Church.
This year the COVID-19 pandemic prevents us from gathering to celebrate together in person. The Council has prepared this compilation of prayers and readings for use at your Thanksgiving service or table. |
The basic needs of our neighbors remain despite the pandemic.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, funds will be collected to be shared with direct meal providers affiliated with Members of the Council. All proceeds will be shared. Please remember our neighbors in need during this season. |
Please accept our best wishes for a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving. Our hope is for a better year to come.
