More than 20 Christian congregations will gather Monday evening for the first Madison-area ecumenical Thanksgiving service in recent history.
Church leaders from the Catholic, Orthodox, mainline Protestant, Evangelical and African American communities helped plan the one-hour service, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday at Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish, 418 Holly Ave.
The prayer service has room for more than 1,000 people and will emphasize commonalities across denominations, said organizer John Schmitz.
