TWO EXCITING EVENTS

A Free Community Break-the-Fast Iftar Meal

Tuesday, March 10

at sundown

The Congregational Church of Patchogue

95 East Main Street

In this era of heightened scrutiny of religious belief, cultural identity, and belonging; the Turkish Cultural Center will offer a free Iftar dinner to all attendees at the Congregational Church of Patchogue. Everyone is invited. This event is in the month of Ramadan, which has parallels with Christian Lent and Jewish Yom Kippur. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from sunup to sundown. The evening meal is called Iftar. The Turkish Cultural Center will explain this season/holiday in the context of Islam. We will explore commonality with Muslims, Christians, and Jews over a fine, free Turkish Iftar meal in a magnificent and historic church. The music of Cat Stevens (who converted to Islam a few decades ago) will be performed by the church’s Chancel Singers. 

RSVP Required by Feb. 25

We must have a head count to properly plan for the meal.

Chicken Little shrieked, “the sky is falling!” and it wasn’t. People think the end of romance is the end of the world. Youth ends. Climate change. Armageddon. Apocalypse. The end of democracy is prophesized. But with each ending there was a beginning. The end of the Covid shutdown. The end of loneliness, grief, and taking everything so seriously. This graphic art, dance performance, and musical concert remind us to celebrate and contemplate our vision of what may emerge next! This three-part event reflects the theme of “Every Ending is a New Beginning!”

In Peace and Gratitude,

Pastor Dwight
