Continuing Conversations Potluck Dessert

Friends for Good Continuing Conversation • Date: Sunday evening, July 23rd • Time: 6:00-7:45pm • Food: Dessert Potluck • Check with your Congregation’s Steering Committee members for details and to RSVP Save the date for the next Friends for Good Continuing Conversation dessert potluck event, Sunday evening, July 23rd, from 6:00-7:45pm, at Trinity Fellowship Church. Continuing Conversations are opportunities for us to reconnect with friends from the introductory FFG dinner series, make new friends and engage in interesting and challenging discussions from the point of view of our faith traditions. The topic for this event is “When Religion is Easy, But Life is Hard”. How does faith meet practice? What happens when we are forced to confront personal situations or issues in society that may be contrary to our beliefs, for instance when those whom we love hold values and beliefs that run counter to much of what we believe in? For some, questions of abortion, divorce, LGBT, personal morality or practice, clothing/head covering, and women’s rights, etc. challenge their faith and beliefs. For Unitarians, it could be the struggle to respect and hold dear people whose beliefs are in conflict with our commitment to gender, racial and economic justice. So - how do we respond when our own beliefs bring us into direct conflict with real-life situations in which our faith assumptions may be called into question? We’ll hear from members of each congregation as they share real life stories from within each faith tradition on the personal challenges of resolving difficult issues and living authentically in the 21st century. There will also be plenty of time for discussion.

Eid-ul-Adha 2016

Eid will be on Monday, September 12, 2016, InshAllah. The prayer will be held at IANT. The first prayer will be at 7:30AM (Imam Shpendim Nadzaku), and the second, at 9:30AM (Sh. Saad Hassanin). We understand that many are asking why Eid is not at Fair Park or the Dallas Convention Center. Unfortunately, these venues were booked far in advance by larger conventions, and due to uncertainty for the date, a large hotel proved difficult as well. Nevertheless, we will strive to make your Eid as pleasant, memorable, and comfortable as possible, InshAllah. We always have a few surprises in store! Please join us to celebrate this joyous occasion with your family and friends! Eid Mubarak! Eid Greetings! Eid Sa'eed! Happy Eid! In Eid, Muslims gather together, sensing the deep belonging to this Ummah and this religion. They rejoice at the bounty of Allah Who has guided them when many other peoples failed to follow the straight path. On behalf of IANT and Imam Shpendim, we would like to invite you to come and share the happiness of this day. Let the Muslims of DFW unite and rejoice together as one body. We look forward to seeing everyone with their families on this blessed day of Eid.
