There will be no community-wide Thanksgiving service in Shelby County this year.
The Shelby County Ministerial Alliance, which has organized the services for the past several years, couldn’t pull a community event together this time, said the alliance’s president, Rev. Dave Charlton of First Christian Church in Shelbyville.
“All of us on the board are new, and when it came up, we just didn’t have time to get it done,” Charlton said. “We wanted to do it, and I regret that we can’t."
