🌿 Good morning District 17! 🌿

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our hosting chapter Stars Of Light No.194 and every guest who joined us for such a wonderful Palm Sunday service.

​Reflecting on the humility of Jesus as He entered Jerusalem on a donkey, we were reminded that true strength is found in service and surrender. We moved forward with full confidence that God was leading our service and that His Spirit would guide every word spoken.

​It was truly a blessing to have had each of you with us as we celebrated His entry and prepared our hearts to enter Holy Week together. May His grace go before you.

In service,

Sister Diane Wilson and Brother Howard Matthews Esq.

Eid al-Fitr, meaning the “Festival of Breaking the Fast,” is a sacred Islamic holiday that marks the conclusion of the holy month of Ramadan. It is a joyous occasion that celebrates spiritual renewal, gratitude, and community.

This blessed day is a time for Muslims to give thanks to Allah for granting them the strength and perseverance to complete Ramadan—a month devoted to fasting, prayer, reflection, and increased devotion. Eid al-Fitr also emphasizes forgiveness, compassion, and unity. It encourages individuals to reconcile with others, seek and grant forgiveness, and extend kindness and generosity to those in need, strengthening the bonds of community and shared humanity. - Happy EID AL-FITR

Thousands gathered in Chicago to honor the life and legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights leader who spent decades fighting for equality, economic justice, and voting rights. The homegoing service was held at the House of Hope and featured powerful tributes from national leaders, including Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Bill Clinton, along with faith leaders, activists, and family members.

Speakers reflected on Jackson’s lifelong commitment to uplifting marginalized communities and inspiring generations through his message of hope and justice.

The service included moving musical tributes and heartfelt memories, celebrating a man whose work helped shape the modern civil rights movement and expanded opportunities for millions. Jackson was later laid to rest in Chicago after a week of memorials honoring his extraordinary life and legacy.

“Today we honor the life and legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson — a fearless civil rights leader whose voice, faith, and fight for justice inspired generations. May we continue the work and keep hope alive.” ✊🏾🕊️
