W.Va. celebrating Christian Heritage Week
CHARLESTON -- Thanksgiving Week has been proclaimed Christian Heritage Week in West Virginia by Gov. Joe Manchin.
Started in 1992 by former Gov. Gaston Caperton, churches are asked to celebrate with relevant Sunday school lessons, sermons, a reading of the proclamation from Manchin, youth programs, prayer meetings, patriotic songs and a community invitation.
In the proclamation signed by Manchin, it states "the influence of Christianity in West Virginia is evident by her many churches and Christian charities, ministries, missions and schools; cherished Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving holiday seasons; and a willingness of Mountaineers to love thy neighbor as thyself."
Christian Heritage Week runs from Nov. 22 through Nov. 28.
