MCC Senior Outreach

In Maryland, Saturday, April 14, 1:30pm, the Muslim Community Center (MCC) Senior Program, as a continuation of our dialogue with members of the interfaith community, will host Seniors of the Episcopal Church of Our Savior, and Bible Study Group.

Our seniors from both the church and MCC are taking the lead in bringing our communities together. Through ongoing dialogues, we are learning about our similarities, respecting our differences. Together, as neighbors, we are breaking barriers, building bridges, and celebrating our diversities.

We pray that communities of faith throughout the country reach out to each others in similar dialogues and united celebrations.
