This is a reminder for this Sunday November 8th, 2020 at 4:00 pm when we will present a special and unique service of thanksgiving which will be broadcast on the internet using our YouTube channel. This will be accessible by going to our website at detroitcathedral.org, selecting the “prayer & Worship Resources” page and then clicking on the appropriate YouTube button.
The emphasis of this service is thanksgiving – an expression of our profound appreciation for all who have served the pursuit of freedom and peace in service to their country, regardless of their race, religion or ethnic background. Our celebration will include music from members of our choir with traditional trumpet and bagpipe selections. Our speaker will be Richard Chatman, a great leader in Veterans’ affairs in South Eastern Michigan.
