Loving Across the Difference

April 30, 2022 @ 6:30 pm 9:00 pm

Please join us this Saturday evening for an Iftar dinner experience as we observe the holy month of Ramadan and help create a better society by learning about the theme “Loving Across the Difference” with parables and prayers from the Christian and Islamic faiths with Rev. Andrew Lobban and Ustadha Hosai Mojaddidi.

6:30 p.m. – 9 p.m. | Saturday, April 30 | St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in Livermore | Register at: mcceastbay.org/interiftar

Space is limited at this interfaith Iftar. MCC congregation members may attend ONLY if they accompany a friend, co-worker, or neighbor of another faith or nonfaith.

Iftar means ‘fast-breaking,’ and it is an integral part of the Muslim community’s life during the sacred month of Ramadan. Muslims break their daily Ramadan fast with a community dinner called an “iftar.”

Please RSVP your attendance so we can make sure to have adequate food.
