Interfaith Fall Feast - Celebrating the Harvest

Fall Feast
Amir Wahaab, Rev. Julia Kristeller, Toni Seigal, Debbie Almontasar, Rev. Kay Karpin, Siobhan Sargent, and Sabeeha Rehman

On November 1, faith communities gathered at the Church of St. Paul and St. Andrews to celebrate the harvest. At a potluck dinner, participants struggled with the Interfaith Trivia Quiz, making for a perfect ice-breaker, as we all learnt something new about faith traditions. Amir Wahaab mesmerized the audience with his beautiful voice, children put together a patch-work of thoughts, Jean-Paul Cortens' presentation on organic farming was a 'life-changing' experience, and everyone sang to the scripted interfaith lyrics of 'This Land is Your Land'.
