Members of My Connect Church @Blaine Rogers and @Joshua Holmes and Islamic Center in Russellville came together to pray for peace in the community and the world. The gathering was held at the Islamic Center of Russellville. This event was a wonderful example of cooperation and understanding in our community. It is a reminder that we are all one human family, and that we all have a role to play in building a more just and peaceful world.
