The Three Village Interfaith Clergy Association will be offering its annual Community Interfaith Thanksgiving service on Tuesday, November 20 at 7:00 p.m. at North Shore Jewish Center (385 Old Town Road, Port Jefferson Station). The monetary offering collected during the service will go to the Three Village School District food pantries which provide support to students and families in need.

Pack up your Thanksgiving visitors and family and come join us to celebrate the gifts of our religious diversity. We hope you will be able to stay for a while after the service to enjoy refreshments and conversation.
