Christmas Visits:

​

Members of the Islamic Center in Russellville visited several churches in town to extend warm Christmas greetings to our brothers and sisters in faith. We had the pleasure of meeting with Pastor Chris Abington of City Church, Reverend Mercedes Clements of All Saints' Episcopal Church, Reverend Tony Griffin of United Methodist Church, Pastor Blaine Rogers of Connect Church, and Pastor Robert Brian Brock of Central Presbyterian Church. This beautiful event exemplified the spirit of cooperation, mutual respect, and understanding within our community. It reminded us all that we are one human family, united in our shared responsibility to build a more just, compassionate, and peaceful world.
