We would like to extend a warm invitation to you to attend the upcoming United Nations (UN) World Interfaith Harmony Week event on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at the First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Galveston, Texas from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm (Central Time, TX, USA). This year, our event theme is: Joy, Compassion, and Meaning in Life from Interfaith Perspectives. Your presence will be beyond valuable to us. The UN World Interfaith Harmony Week is an annual event promoting mutual understanding, harmony, and cooperation between all people regardless of their worldviews, religions, and faiths. Over the last five years, the world has been fighting a pandemic, and this has tested the faith of many. In 2020, we discussed the “Five Harmonies” and how to heal the mind, and in 2021, the topic was finding inner joy in what we hoped would soon be a post-pandemic world. In 2022, we focused on how to create interpersonal harmony and honor our shared diversity and in 2023, we focused on ways to benefit our community in the post-pandemic era. In 2024, we promoted justice for all followed by forgiveness in 2025. This year, we will be focusing on joy and compassion. The event will be hosted in a hybrid format combining both virtual platform and in person gathering. We invite you to be part of the conversation to share your faith, values, and practices with each other.
