The Princeton Clergy Association's Annual Community Thanksgiving Service November 24, 2011

The Princeton Clergy Association warmly welcomes all to the annual Community Thanksgiving Service at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, November 24, 2011 at the Princeton University Chapel. Worship will be led by members of various Princeton faith communities, and a community choir directed by Frances Fowler Slade, a liturgical dancer and a solo violinist. Princeton Borough Mayor Mildred Trotman will read the Presidential Thanksgiving Proclamation. The congregation hymns will be “Come, Ye Thankful People, Come”, “We Gather Together” and “America the Beautiful”. Eric Plutz, Princeton University organist, will play a prelude and a postlude.

                  Donations of nonperishable food for the food pantries of The Crisis Ministry will be greatly appreciated.  A monetary offering, supporting  the Interfaith Chaplaincy of the University Medical Center in Princeton, will be collected.

                  COMMUNITY CHOIR:                  Those who would like to be part of the Community Choir at the service should come to the Princeton University Chapel at 9:15 a.m. on November 24, 2011 for rehearsal with Frances Slade before the service. The anthems will be “Old Hundredth”, arranged by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and “Let All Things Now Living”. Community Choir members should bring choir robes if they have them or wear white tops with black pants or skirts.

                  If you would like to be part of the Community Choir, please let Julia Coale at jbcoale@aol.com what voice part you sing. Drops ins are fine, but rehearsal will be much smoother if we have advance notice.
