Dear friends,
I wanted to share with you an invitation I received from our friends in the Muslim community.
They have invited us to join them for their First Annual Ramadan Community Potluck Dinner ( Iftar ) on Sunday, June 11th from 7:45 pm to 9:30 pm at the Bon Air United Methodist Church (in the Gymnasium) on 1645 Buford Rd, Richmond, VA 23235.
Unfortunately, Adira, the kids, and I will be away on vacation during that time. We are deeply saddened we won't be able to attend. However, I strongly encourage you to do so. This event will be a great opportunity to learn about another culture, and for diverse communities throughout the greater Richmond area to share food and fellowship together. It would be wonderful to have a strong showing from our community.
The organizers ask that you please bring with you your favorite dish (preferably veggie or non-pork meat dishes) and/or dessert with a label naming the item. Plates, cups, bread, and water will be provided. Families are welcome!
The event will also feature a short program and opportunity for interfaith conversation.
A $10 donation is suggested and the funds raised will go to the Virginia Center For Inclusive Communities (http://www.inclusiveva.org).
Please RSVP at: https://goo.gl/forms/0lUxAmBVd7g55O532
Please feel free to share this invitation to your community members and friends. You can even talk about it on social media using the hashtag #BreakingFastTogether.
With prayers peace and friendship,
