People Coming to Thanksgiving Day Service Can Bring Food for Crisis Ministry of Mercer

To the Editor:

The Princeton Community Thanksgiving Day service at Princeton University Chapel is an annual tradition of about 70 years. The one hour service this Thanksgiving, November 24, will be at the University Chapel at 11 a.m. and will feature music by University Organist Eric Plutz, a community choir and singer Minister Carter, a reading of the President’s Thanksgiving Proclamation by Mayor Lempert, readings and prayers by clergy of various faith traditions, and Thanksgiving hymns, ending with a rousing singing of “America the Beautiful”.

People are urged to bring nonperishable food in non glass containers to donate to The Crisis Ministry of Mercer County. The Community Choir will rehearse at 9 a.m. at the Chapel and all singers of whatever age are invited to join forces to make a big sound. It is a great opportunity to sing in Princeton University Chapel.
