From Capital Journal (South Dakota)-Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church is trying something new this year at Thanksgiving: not having a divine worship service on Thanksgiving Day. Rather it’s holding one the night before.
“We normally have Thanksgiving Day services but the numbers have been dropping in recent years,” said the Rev. Cory Rajek on Wednesday. “So we thought we would try out having a Thanksgiving Eve service. We do have a chili supper tonight right before the service.”
That seems to be a kind of a trend among many American churches: away from holding worship services on the fourth Thursday in November set aside as a national observance of giving thanks to God.
