We would like to invite you to attend the Interfaith Harvest Dinner on Saturday, November 2, 6:30 – 9:00 pm, at the Islamic Cultural Center of Northern California, 1433 Madison Street, Oakland. This interfaith event is sponsored by the Faith Trio, a collaboration among three congregations in the Oakland area representing the three “Abrahamic Faiths” of Islam, Judaism and Christianity: the Islamic Cultural Center of Northern California, Kehilla Community Synagogue, and Montclair Presbyterian Church.
We have been holding these annual interfaith Harvest Dinner events for a good number of years, and they have been wonderful occasions.
The Harvest Dinner will begin at 6:30 pm. From 6:30 – 6:45 pm, the Muslim community will participate in the evening Maghreb prayer. Non-Muslims are welcome to come and witness. At 6:45 pm, we will have a giant potluck vegetarian dinner. Blessings from Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders will frame our celebration.
The food assignments are as follows: members of the Islamic Cultural Center will provide a vegetarian main dish, members of Kehilla are invited to bring a salad (vegetarian) and members of Montclair Presbyterian Church are invited to bring desserts. If you not affiliated with any of these three congregations, you are very welcome to attend, and please chose a potluck contribution from one of these categories. All food vegetarian and non-alcoholic. There is no cost to attend this event.
We hope the Harvest Dinner will be a great opportunity to make positive connections with people of other congregations and faiths.
