Every year since the Interreligious & Human Needs Council of Oyster Bay started, they have the thanksgiving ecumenical service. I have been a member for 20 years and I only missed it last year because I was out of the country. It is always held on Sunday before Thanksgiving. Early on, they used to have the service at 7 PM. This time around, they changed the time to 4 PM.
There are several houses of worship in town so we rotate the service at different churches or synagogue. This year we had the ecumenical service at the Community United Methodist Church in East Norwich. The host church is in charge of the program which is a mixture of prayers and hymns and each minister of church participate.
Today, we were welcomed by the host minister, followed by readings and prayer by the First Presbyterian minister, then a litany of prayers by the Episcopal minister, then a reading and prayers by the Catholic priest. The minister of the African Zion Methodist Church did a gospel of five songs. He has a fabulous voice and got everybody spellbound. The rabbi from the Jewish Center said the benediction. The congregation sang hymns in between these prayers nd the host church's choir sang a thanksgiving hymn.
The service was followed by a coffee hour and fellowship. I met the new pastor of the host church and his wife. They are wonderful couple. They were Koreans and Rev. Kim said his wife and I look like sisters. I told them where I work which is a block from their church. She asked for my business card and I told them if they know anybody in need of a real estate professional, I'll appreciate a referral. They told me to drop by the rectory sometime and come for a visit. I got a new friend. You never know, I might even get a referral someday.
For the first 30 years of my marriage, I cooked Thanksgiving Dinner for my family. It started with my brother getting a free turkey from his office and since he was a bachelor, he gave the turkey to me to cook. I had my mother-in-law, my brother and my husband and me for thanksgiving dinner. We lived in New York city at that time. From that small beginning, my family grew. My other brother came from abroad, then my younger brother followed him. Then they all got married, have their children and at the last dinner, we had 23 people.
I always had chestnut stuffing for my turkey. It was a hit with the family and we never changed it. When my kids moved to California and we went there for Thanksgiving, my children wanted chestnut stuffing. The first time, I did not know if they had chestnut there so I took chestnut with me on the plane.
Here is the recipe for CHESTNUT STUFFING:
1 LB. Chestnuts (2 cup boiled)
1 Tbs. butter, margarine or salad oil
½ lb. pork sausage meat (I used Jones sausage)
¼ cup minced onion
½ hot water
1-1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 cup toasted Italian bread crumbs, lightly packed
2 tbsp. sherry
Wash chestnuts. Boil in salted water to cover for 20 minutes. Drain. Make long slit on both sides of each shell. Bake at 500 degrees F. 15 min. Shell and skin nuts. In butter in skillet, sauté sausage meat and onion about 10 min. or until sausage is cooked, onion is tender. Combine hot water, salt, pepper, crumbs, sherry. Then add chestnuts, sausage mixture. Stuff cavities of 8-lb. turkey.
Please note tha 1 Lb. = 16 oz and 40 chestnuts makes 4 cups boiled of chestnut.

In the caring community of Oyster Bay-East Norwich, plans for the holiday season include program to help less fortunate families, senior citizens and disabled individuals.
Back in 1992, I got involved with the Interreligious Group in Oyster Bay. At that time, the treasurer of CSAC (Community Social Action Council) which is a committee of the Interreligious Group wanted to retire. I was new to the club but since I have an accounting background, I was asked to be the treasurer. I happily accepted the post and I have been treasurer of CSAC ever since.
The CSAC committee is in charge of the Food Drive. We ask the public to donate food for Thanksgiving and to donate money as well. We send out about 1000 solicitation letters in October and then money starts coming in. We have been raising approximately $10,000 to $12,000 in cash every year which we buy food gift certificates and distribute them to the less fortunate families, seniors and disabled individuals so they can have a holiday meal. I order the food gift certificates and I send out all the thank you letters afterwards to the donors. The recipients also get a cartful of groceries, sometimes two depending on the number of people in a family unit. We work closely with our local churches, schools, the Youth and Family Counseling Agency and they are the ones who supply the names of the families. Basically we do not know who gets the food. We only get #1 - Family of 2 or #2 - Family of 4 and so on. You get the idea. The recipients are handed a number beforehand and they present the card at the distribution center which is at the First Presbyterian Church. It is to protect their identity since it is a small community. We sort the food on Monday night and the high school kids help us distribute the food on Tuesday night before Thanksgiving. We get tons of packaged food, fresh vegetables, turkeys and all the trimmings. It is a very satisfying endeavor knowing we are helping those in need at this time of the year.
In 2007, 142 families with children and 97 seniors and disabled individuals were so grateful to receive assistance as a result of this program. If you feel you can support this community-wide effort, you can send in your donation to: CSAC, "2008 Holiday Sharing Fund", P.O. Box 231, Oyster Bay, NY 11771.
