The Unitarian Universalist Congregational Society of Westborough hosted Wednesday night's service.
Westborough's 40th Annual Interfaith Community Service Thanksgiving Service included wisdom from Hebrew Scripture, Christian Scripture, the Ute Indians of North America, an anonymous poet, and a Springfield Nuclear Power Plant safety inspector. "A Prayer of Gratitude" by Homer -- Simpson -- was recited by Rabbi Rachel Gurevitz during her sermon, "A Thankful Heart Changes Everything." While praying, Simpson says, "You freeze everything the way it is, and I won't ask for anything else," Gurevitz told the crowd at the Unitarian Universalist Congregational Society of Westborough on Wednesday night.
