Worship Services

 

As always, the Abraham Festival is including a worship service in the Jewish, Muslim and Christian tradition. These are not interfaith services. They are the regular services held by Muslim, Christian and Jewish congregations. All are welcome to join in the services and prayers. We believe that we all pray to the same God, and that no one can give offense by praying at a place of worship.
