15th Annual Fountain Hills’ Interfaith Thanksgiving

Fountain Hills – Join your neighbors from the rich variety of Fountain Hills faith traditions as we gather for our 15th Annual Fountain Hills Interfaith Thanksgiving celebration on Sunday, November 19th at 2pm. This year’s celebration will be at The Fountains, a United Methodist Church, 15300 N. Fountain Hills Blvd.

 Our fifteenth year, this Fountain Hills tradition is even more relevant today in the face of rising anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and Christian Nationalism. Sponsored by the Fountain Hills’ Interfaith Alliance, a coalition of local faith communities and leaders committed to embracing diversity and pluralism, this annual observance is an intentional interaction with our neighbors of other faith traditions as a positive witness to a world in conflict over religion.

 Those joining together in the celebration include Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Protestants, Latter Day Saints, Buddhists, Baha’i, Religious Science, and practitioners of other faiths living in and around Fountain Hills. The service will include inspiring music, a time for conversation, and an opportunity to reflect on the importance of being in face-to-face dialogue with those of different faiths and life circumstances.

 Syrian refugee baker Noor Al Mousa (whose baklava recipe was featured in Sunset magazine) will again be on hand to sell pre-packaged sweets and also take orders for holiday delivery.

 Thanksgiving is a unique opportunity for all Americans, regardless of religious or faith background, to come together with thanks, acknowledging our many gifts and the richness of America’s religious diversity. Don’t miss out on what those who have attended in past years have called, “an amazing experience!”
