What a beautiful evening of dialogue, friendship, and community!💫

On June 2nd, we welcomed Jewish, Christian, and Muslim panelists and guests for our Eid al-Adha Interfaith Dinner. Together, we explored themes of sacrifice, faith, compassion, and service while sharing meaningful conversations around our tables.

We are grateful to our panelists, guests, and volunteers who helped create a warm and welcoming space for learning, listening, and building connections across faith traditions.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We look forward to many more opportunities to come together in friendship and understanding.

Another wonderful evening of Scriptural Reasoning brought people from different faith backgrounds together around the theme “Encountering God.”

Through the story of Mary/Maryam, participants shared reflections on faith, trust, fear, hope, and the many ways we may encounter God in our daily lives.

This gathering was especially meaningful for us as it was officially our first Scriptural Reasoning session organized in partnership with onejaxinc We are grateful for the collaboration, support, and dedication of our joint planning committee, whose members worked together to help make this gathering possible.

It was a beautiful evening of listening, learning, and sincere conversation. We were especially happy to welcome many new participants and grateful to see this circle continue to grow.

Thank you to everyone who shared their reflections and helped create such a warm and thoughtful atmosphere. We look forward to continuing these meaningful conversations together.
