But, here the religious folks have had a wonder Thanksgiving celebration...
For the second year in a row, the various religions in the Woodlands have
met in a Thansgiving observance. We invited every religion in the area and
were able to listen to to the call of the shofer (sp), the call of the
mezzser to prayer, a Hindu prayer of thansgiving, various Christian prayers,
a Ba'Hi prayer for unity and peace.
