Please join us for this important event. All are welcome.
Mark the
10th Anniversary of 9/11/01. Gather to memorialize all the lives lost —
on that day and in the subsequent wars.
Come together to say: “War
No More, We Declare Peace!”
Gather by 1:30 p.m. at the
Islamic Center at 5th & Locust, downtown Columbia. Join in a brief
interfaith call for peace, followed by a peace procession to Courthouse
Square for a short program, including music and readings from the
bereaved.
If possible, please bring a flower to
carry in the procession. Bring an extra, if you can, to share with
someone.

Note: Out of respect to our Muslim
brothers and sisters and their house of worship, we request that those
who plan to come in to the mosque dress modestly, avoiding tank tops,
halter tops, short skirts, etc. Also note that those coming in to the
mosque will need to remove their shoes in the entrance way. Thanks for
understanding and respecting their customs.
