The Interfaith Union is a resource center for people who are dating, or intermarried of all religious traditions - Christian, Jewish, Muslim and others - which provides educational support, mentoring, community and the celebration of sacred rites.
Our mission is one of compassion, understanding and acceptance of all and consideration and recognition that each person's spiritual journey is unique and to be respected.

 WELCOME TO SPRING!
We made it! The snows are gone (we hope) and we can see signs of life becoming new. During glorious April, where we will meet life reborn through our Christian stories of renewal, redemption and rebirth at Easter, and the stories of lives set free at Passover, we look forward to seeing you this month at one of our many meetings!

A Prayer for these times
"Glorious God, I remember how Moses parted the waters of the Red Sea in order to save the Israelites, I remember how Christ walked on water on the Sea of Galiliee, I say with the Psalmist 'I am truly thirty for you, my God.' Let these examples and all the oceans, lakes, rivers, creeks and streams remind me of the goodness of your Grace."
Henry Nouwen
