Multi-faith Thanksgiving Service

Pilgrim Congregational Church is hosting a Multifaith Thanksgiving Service Sunday 11.23.2025 at 4pm.

Amidst global turmoil, we can find solace in our shared humanity and collective yearning for peace. Let our city come together at the Chattanooga Multifaith Thanksgiving Service to offer prayers, sing songs, and share words of hope for a different future.

The guest speaker will be Michah Fries, Director of the Multi-Faith Neighbor’s Network.

Brought to you by a diverse group of faith community clergy and leaders who believe that together, we can be the change we seek.

 You'll find solace in the thoughtful words, serene music, and contemplative prayers representing various faiths.

Together, we stand in solidarity to promote hope and healing. 

Bring cookies to share after the service or bring a dessert dish from your tradition to contribute to our communal feast.

An offering will go to support the Chattanooga Food Bank.
