SUMMARY:Thanksgiving Devotional and Spiritual Unity Feast
DESCRIPTION:A devotional and spiritual unity feast to give thanks and reflect on service to community. \n“The essence of charity is for the servant to recount the blessings of his Lord\, and to render thanks unto Him at all times and under all conditions.” Bahá’u’lláh \n“In these times thanksgiving for the bounty of the Merciful One consists in the illumination of the heart and the feeling of the soul. This is the reality of thanksgiving.
