Terrence O’Brien, Community Church of Glen Rock.
The words of Saradj Avaregan, The Baha’i Faith, spoke volumes after Glen Rock has had a tough few weeks of residents feeling divided on Facebook and afraid (note editorial: Divided?)
Giving and loving God, we thank you for this Borough of Glen Rock, especially for our spirit of good will, love and kindness. Help us to be mindful of those in our community who feel isolated or outcast in anyway; give us strength to reach them with love
The Rev. Terrence O’Brien, Community Church of Glen Rock also reminded us in his sermon that it is the friends and family at the table at thanksgiving that makes the holiday, not the turkey.
There was music from the Sikh Temple members.
After the services, The members of The Sri Guru Sabha Gurudwara welcomed everyone to the basement for a pre thanksgiving feast of several dishes from their culture.
What a wonderful start to the holiday season. A huge round of applause to the Religious Communities of Glen Rock for another tremendous service
