We Remember Reflection
September 23, 2015
On Thursday, September 10th, 2015, a community interfaith memorial event sponsored by area hospice providers, the Kaufman Interfaith Institute, and the Interfaith community took place to remember those who have died in our community.
Throughout the evening, the event at the Dominican Center drew in over 160 community members. The event began with a service that represented multiple faith traditions through various readings by the following:
Fred Stella - Pracharak, West Michigan Hindu Temple
Linda Toloui - Baha’i Community
Rev. Bob Lindstrom - Trinity Lutheran Church
Rev. Nathaniel Moody - Brown-Hutcherson Ministries
Dr. Sahibzada - Director/Imam Masjid of Grand Rapids/Islamic Center of West Michigan
Diane Baum - Congregation Ahavas Israel
Following the service, multiple events were available outside of the Dominican Center. Events included planting in the newly established interfaith garden, decorating and flying a kite, a reflective nature walk, and walking a labyrinth.
