The churches participating in the service were Diamond Hills Baptit Church, First Church of the Brethren, Eastside Hill Presbyterian Church, Mayflower Congregational Church, Ridgeway First Church of God, St. Mary of the Snows Catholic Church, and St. Timothy Evangelical Lutheran Church.

"The purpose of the service in part is to under score that our committment to Christ is broader thn anyone of our denominations so we come together to worship," Stull said.

The highlight of the service was a combined area church choir performance..
  

Pastor Stull said the offering collected will be given to Catholic Charities and Love Inc. ministries in Mansfield.
