March 30: Masjid Ar-Raham, mosque at the former St. Richards
Sunday March 30th as part of our Lenten Study-Action Program we will visit Masjid Ar-Raman, the mosque at the former St. Richard’s church building.
Please bring a bag-lunch and meet at St. Catherine’s in the Mary Pellat Room at 12:45 for a time of prayer and preparation. (1058 Ridgewood Drive, North Vancouver)
You will get the most from your experience if you are able to pray and prepare before:
Read Luke 10:25-37 and the study questions (attached)
Read the Guidelines for Interfaith Conversations (attached)
Visit the masjid website

In the Ash Wednesday service we are called to keep a holy Lent through giving alms. Almsgiving or Zakat is also one of the core principles and practices of Islam. During our visit we will make a group gift to the Zakat Box for those in need, individuals are welcome to contribute as well.
We have been asked by our hosts to observe modest dress during our visit. Most of us already dress modestly on a Sunday morning. Please wear long or ¾ sleeves, a skirt, dress or slacks and women bring a scarf to cover your head when we are in the mosque. No shorts, short skirts or bare arms, please.
Meet at St. Catherine’s, 1058 Ridgewood Dr., North Van at 12:45
If you are meeting us at Ar-Raman, 1398 W. 15th St., North Van, at 2pm you need to have read the Guidelines for Interfaith Conversations before you come.
If you plan to attend please let Laurel Dykstra know by e-mail so that we can tell our hosts how many to expect. loraldyk@hotmail.com
