The Interfaith Partnership for Understanding, Respect and Community Service is moving from words and good intentions into actions under the "Building Bridges, Serving Communities" project. The project has been initiated by the Trinity Christian College in response to the challenge presented by the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. The ultimate goal is to move beyond the interfaith dialogue into education and community service programs that are uniquely interfaith as well as providing service to the communities. This particular gathering on Saturday, February, 13/2016 is a follow up on two previous interfaith events; "Love God, Love your Neighbor", and "From Friendship to Partnership". The theme for this event is "Love Your Neighbor: Serve the .community"

Cedar Rapids Festival of Faith
Start Date: Monday 15th of February 2016 12:00:00 AM
End Date: Monday 15th of February 2016 12:00:00 AM
Location: Cedar Rapids public library (tentatively and could change depends on availability)
Cedar Rapids, a small yet important city in the state of Iowa in the heartland of America. The city has an established interfaith organization, which I serve as it's vice-president, however, this event is going to be unique in bringing the people together to learn about and celebrate the religious diversity of their city. I believe that there are many efforts to bring leaders of different faiths together,but little effort to bring people of different faith together. I also think that the fact that I have studied at Al Azhar at the hands of and under scholars like Dr.Ali Gomaa the former grand Mufti of Egypt and Dr. Usama Al Azhary - this gives great significance to the event because the students of such great scholars are carrying their moderate and correct understanding of Islam even in small and local towns all over the world.

Mosaic Harmony proudly presents "Mosaic Harmony and Friends - One Humankind" as our first annual concert consisting of choirs we have invited to participate from the Washington metropolitan area.
Mosaic Harmony is a multi-faith, multicultural community choir that draws on the rich heritage of African-American inspirational music. As a human mosaic, we strive to illustrate and encourage unity in the midst of diversity, one song at a time. Committed to the belief that inspirational music can create a community of interfaith and racial harmony, the choir members represent several different races, numerous faith traditions, and a variety of occupations. We are joined together by the ministry of music, our beliefs uniting us as a choir, energizing us to share our message and connect to others. Together we celebrate a commitment to creative expression, musical excellence, commitment to service and shared joy and support.
We are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has been funded over the years by donations from our devoted members and fans, and through paid performances, and by annual Mosaic Harmony fundraising concerts. The choir performs approximately ten times during its choral season in locations throughout the Washington metropolitan area.
We seek to promote interfaith, interracial harmony through our performances.
We welcome singers and audiences of different faiths, races, and cultures.
We lift spirits, stir souls, and enliven audiences wherever we perform!
