A night to remember

The G-Clefs, one of the original doo-wop groups of the 1950s, performed at the Northshore Unitarian Universalist Church last Saturday night to a packed house.

The meaning of Ramadan

We have entered the season of Ramadan, a period of fasting, prayer, and spiritual study for Muslims. The radio program Speaking of Faith has gathered stories about the meaning of Ramadan from Muslims all over the country. They are inspiring and touching, and are a wonderful way to get to know our Muslim neighbors better. [...]
