We gathered for an evening of gratitude and fellowship at our annual Early Thanksgiving Dinner, hosted by MARTI in partnership with the Jewish Federation of Howard County and Catonsville Presbyterian Church.

The evening included a shared meal and conversations that drew guests closer across cultures and faiths.

We are thankful for:

  • Fevzi Sarac's speech and a video tribute to Fethullah Gülen.
  • A prayer for unity led by Rev. Pothin Ngyele of St. Michael the Archangel Anglican Catholic Church.
  • Keynote remarks from Paul Thompson.
  • Closing thoughts by Rabbi Gordon Fuller and Rev. Dorothy Boulton on the strength of unity and collaboration.
  • Bonnie Sorak of Interfaith Partners for the Chesapeake, who served as MC.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening possible.
