The evening will include guided reflections, moments of prayer and remembrance, and an opportunity to share personal insights on growth, resilience, and the deeper meaning of fasting. As we break bread together, we will foster meaningful conversations centered on gratitude, generosity, and strengthening our bonds as a community.
All are welcome to join in this sacred moment of pause and togetherness. Whether you are observing Ramadan or joining in solidarity, we invite you to share in this experience of reflection, renewal, and unity.
