DAY 1: HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS: STRENGTHENING OUR RELATIONSHIPS SPIRITUALLY
INTERFAITH DINNER

"I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit." Khalil Gibran
We invite the entire family to gather round the table, enjoy a nutritious meal and engage in inspiring conversation with people of diverse religious and spiritual backgrounds. This is not only a great opportunity to "break bread" with others but a chance to explore beautiful perspectives of God, life and meaning. Our guests speakers will share stories of traditions and practice from each of the Abrahamic faiths; Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Our hope is that this event will incline the attendees towards a rich and meaningful interfaith experience.
