2010 Tallahassee Interfaith Group

Community-wide Thanksgiving Service

Tuesday, Nov 23, 2010; 7-8:30 PM

Ruby Diamond Auditorium, Tallahassee, FL 32306

Tallahassee Interfaith Group (TIG) celebrated its 28th Community-wide Thanksgiving Service at Ruby Diamond Auditorium on Tuesday, November 23, 2010. This year the TIG brought about thirty or so interfaith congregations and groups together for the service titled "Hope for the Troubled Times". For the first time the service was held at the newly renovated Ruby Diamond Auditorium at Florida State University campus and collaborated with FSU Department of Music.

The service began with sounding of shofar which was followed by the welcome address by Rev Campbell-Evans. Then the FSU African Drum & Dance Ensemble, Voces Angelorum, and FSU Blues Band performed with interludes of great speeches by various interfaith people.

I was given a chance to read a prayer about Hope during Troubled Times. I choose to read the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna. Following my speech there was a song by Children's Orchestra and other performances.

Finally around 8:30 the service concluded.
