Members of Rush-Henrietta Interfaith League churches joined us Tuesday, Nov. 25, for the annual Community Thanksgiving Service. We wanted to host this event at the start of our bicentennial to share our thanksgiving with our neighbors, who share so much of our history. Rev. Dr. Jill Bradway, our interim pastor, preached on “Live Thanks!”
Other participants included: Rev. David Inglis, senior pastor, Henrietta United Church of Christ; Rev. Dr. Lynn Acquafondata, pastoral counselor and church consultant; Rev. Martha Koenig Stone, associate pastor, Henrietta United Church of Christ; Bruce Nelson, president, Temple Beth Am; Barbara Swiecki, pastor administrator, St. Marianne Cope Roman Catholic Church; Dr. Rashid Muhammad, member of the Islamic Center of Rochester, Muslim Chaplain at RIT; Mel Witmer, longtime volunteer for FISH and RHAFT; Rev. Dr. Cathy Stengel, senior pastor, Rush United Methodist Church, and Lynne Stewart, member of both the WHBC bicentennial committee and the Rush-Henrietta Interfaith League.
Edo Frenkel directed the choir, and Bev Bixby was organist.
