Special Thankgiving at Nain Church

The Moravian Church in Nain has a busy but very special weekend coming up.

They will be having their Thanksgiving Sunday service with the tradition of people bringing food items and/or baked goods for Thanksgiving.


The main event will be the Dedication and Blessing of the new organ which will be right after the Thanksgiving Sunday service.

Sarah Jensen, the Co-chair of the Moravian Church in Newfoundland and Labrador will be there to speak on behalf of the Moravian Church.

There will also be messages from Rev. Brigitte Schloss, The Nain Choir Master and Church Elders.

Money for the new organ was donated by the International Grenfell Association through the Nain Heritage Committee. The cost was nearly 21 thousand dollars.
