Join us for one, some or all of 39 different events during the 13th annual Festival of Faiths The theme for the Festival of Faiths this year is “Coming of Age”. You are invited to live the questions along with us of what it means to “come of age” as we walk our individual paths, as we connect through community, and as we define ourselves and respond through our faith institutions. We encourage you to create space in your life during this time to explore where you are in your own journey towards maturity and your true self. We have provided some reflections on our theme hoping to enhance your participation and connect you to the spirit of the Festival regardless of the number of events you are able to attend. Our community is blessed with the opportunity to be inspired, educated and challenged to “come of age”around the issues that confront us today. How we respond may be a reflection of how successfully we are navigating our own coming of age, both individually and as a community. Our wish is that however you choose to participate you will be inspired to carry forward the fruits of your experience of the Festival of Faiths in your life, in your faith, and in our community.
