Post Election Call for Unity

Noah's Ark's  first KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Event featuring Mormonism and True Islam happened on 11/5/16 - pre-election weekend here in Metro-Atlanta, GA.

For the evening presentation, it was an attempt to invite the local community to learn more about their Mormon and Muslim neighbors and to foster understanding and friendship between these two faiths.

In the afternoon, there was also an opportunity to serve together in a Blood Drive as a community and get to know each other better.

Combined, there were 20 people from both faiths who donated blood that afternoon and there were 107 people who attended the evening's presentation.
