Meet your Muslim Neighbor
 The Epiphany Advocates group is sponsoring a field trip tomorrow, Saturday, May 20, 2-4 p.m., to visit a local mosque for an afternoon open house as part of the RI Council for Muslim Advancement's program. Last year we met Imam Ikram who came to speak to us about his congregation and now we can visit their community to understand more about Muslim life and worship. Youth and families are especially encourage to attend this educational experience. Contact Jr. Warden, Karen Virtue with questions.
