The Interfaith Prayer Service meets in Eugene on the 11th of every month
at the First Christian Church, 1166 Oak Street, Eugene, Oregon.
6:45 p.m. prelude
7:00 to 8:00 p.m. service
Followed by fellowship
The theme for the Saturday, September 11th service is "SACRED WINDS OF HOPE." The Interfaith Prayer Services have been meeting continuously since 9/11/01. Our vision for this year's 9/11 service is not to just look back on that date as a memorial but to look beyond that pivitol moment in time to all the points of strife and challenge all over the world and find and affirm a sense hope that the winds and energies of change and possibilites are swirling around us and creating new openings for peace, wholeness and understanding in our world... hence "Sacred Winds of Hope."
Participants for this special September 11 service confirmed as of 9/1 are Tricia Clark McDowell (Eugene Meditation Group of the Self-Realization Fellowship), Laleh Rezaee (Bahá’í Faith), Sister Margaret Graziano (Roman Catholic), Gurumukh Singh Khalsa (Sikhism), Ibrahim Hamide (Islam), Rabbi Maurice (Judaism), Jake Hutchins (Apache), Veena Howard (Hindu), Hazlitt (The Dzogchen Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism), and Kitty Piercy (Mayor, City of Eugene) with music by Shanti Shivani.
Coming up on October 11th we will have a special program
on the theme of "SACRED SOUNDS: We Are The World"
Please share this information with your friends, family, loved ones, faith communities and anyone you feel might need to spend a spiritually uplifting evening in a safe venue. This service is free and open to all. Come join us! We look forward to meeting you!
Our Interfaith Services are a diversity of expression with a simplicity of purpose. This is not dogma or entertainment, it is a coming together of individuals and faith traditions to pray together and to come to a deeper knowing of one another.
