Several area churches joined hands Thursday for a Community Thanksgiving Service at Statesboro First United Methodist Church.Dr. Bill Perry, the pastor emeritus of Statesboro First Baptist Church, delivered the Thanksgiving message as a sense of unity and peace filled the sanctuary.“Much of what we learn about life is from children,” he began, showing a humorous side. He spoke of a young boy who, when asked for what he is thankful, replied “My glasses. Girls won’t kiss me and boys won’t hit me.”On a serious note however, Perry expressed the importance of giving thanks.“It is a good, good thing to give thanks,” he said,.
