Posted

The Church of the Epiphany, an Episcopal church located at 1336 Pawtucket Avenue in the Rumford section of East Providence, is hosting an Ecumenical Service as part of a joint Thanksgiving celebration with Bethany Church of Nazarene (Rumford), Newman Congregational Church (Rumford), Haven United Methodist Church (East Providence), St. Margaret’s Catholic Church (Rumford), and Evangelical Covenant Church (Riverside).

The Ecumenical Service, which will be held on Monday, November 25 at 7:00 p.m, will include a special group performance of the choirs from the six churches, as well as readings promoting the spirit of Thanksgiving. The Church welcomes parishioners from these churches as well as anyone in the community to join the festivities for an opportunity to reflect on the year ahead, and to give thanks.

At the service, Church of the Epiphany will also be accepting donations of canned goods and other nonperishable items for the Bread of Life Food Pantry. The Pantry is an ecumenical collaboration between the six East Providence churches in an effort to provide food for people in need within the community. The provisions for the Bread of Life Food Pantry are collected and housed at Newman Congregational Church.

“The ecumenical service is a tradition and a testament to our commitment to providing a nurturing and welcoming community for all,” states Church of the Epiphany Reverend Jennifer Zogg. “The Church is honored to be hosting this year’s event to bring all of our churches together for a joyous night of prayer and giving thanks before the holiday.”
