Muslim volunteers help so Christians can attend Church on Christmas Eve
from the blog Anything Is Possible
Salem United Church of Christ normally provides meals and shelter every Sunday night for homeless women and children. But since Christmas eve was on a Sunday, they didn’t know how they’d be able to attend Christmas Eve church and meet their usual rotation in the BEDS plus homeless program. When the pastor shared this dilemma with an interfaith association, Karen Danielson, of the Bridgeview Mosque Foundation offered the services of Muslim volunteers.

my feet stand upon a rock

The river keeps flowing but
my feet stand upon a hill
