Union County Interfaith Youth Council
After the horror of the Christchurch massacre in New Zealand, groups of young people and adults from the Muslim Community Center of Union County, Temple Sholom of Scotch Plains, First United Methodist Church of Scotch Plains, First Presbyterian Church of Cranford, First Presbyterian Church of Woodbridge, amongst others, pressed forward by gathering at the Fanwood Presbyterian Church for pizza, prayer, consolation and growing in friendship over board games. The event was held on March 17, 2019. All participants signed a banner of consolation made by the Muslim Community Center of Union County Sunday School children, which was sent to Al Noor Mosque and the Linwood Islamic Center in Christchurch.
The group’s next event will be a park cleanup held in June. Follow ‘Union County Interfaith Youth Council’ on Facebook for details on upcoming events and how you can participate.
We urge everyone to get the word out about this important formation of Union County youth in furthering the common values of peace, goodness, truth, justice and mercy held by all major faith traditions.
