Each week, the five Faith and Values sites compile their top photos to give you a glance at what is happening in communities around the country. We missed last week in the Thanksgiving bustle, so here's a look at Nov. 14 – 28. In the mix: interfaith Thanksgiving services, a live nativity scene, wood flutes, a new mosque and more.

You'll also hear excerpts from the Interfaith Thanksgiving Service held in Columbia. The audio was originally produced for the weekly Faith and Values update on KBIA 91.3 FM.
