This annual interfaith service offered by the South Brunswick Clergy Association invites the South and North Brunswick Communities together to celebrate our blessings.  This year’s service, entitled “The Sacred Privilege to Care: Reflections on Poverty and Plenty,” asks people of faith and the greater community to consider ways in which we are directed to respond to the needs of the poor and what we can do about their need. During the service, they will be collecting non-perishable food for the South Brunswick Food Pantry and taking an offering toward the South Brunswick Clergy Association sponsored scholarship awarded to a South Brunswick High School senior who has thoughtfully shared an experience of living in a religiously diverse society.
