Thanks,” will feature readings, prayers and music based on the psalms of
thanksgiving.

Lutheran Church, Emmaus United Christian Church, Unity of Fairfax, First
Baptist Church, Vienna Baptist Church, Andrew Chapel United Methodist Church, Good
Shepherd United Methodist Church, Oakton United Methodist Church and Wesley
