FAITH CLUB
The Faith Club is a group of women of many faiths, operating under the umbrella of MeckMIN.
Meetings are monthly on the fourth Wednesday of the month, except for November.
*A meeting is held the fifth Wednesday of November or the first Wednesday of December for the purpose of planning the activities for the next year.
We meet in a classroom of Park Road Baptist Church from 7:00 pm. to 8:30 pm. There is usually a Zoom option for those who wish to join that way. Members share leadership, but Saeeda Mubarak and Jinny Sullivan coordinate communications. We focus on topics and events of varied spiritual interest. Occasionally we attend events outside of our formal meetings. All are involved in selecting the topics and events we share.

Introduction
MeckMIN (Mecklenburg Metropolitan Interfaith Network) promotes interfaith collaboration to foster understanding, compassion and justice. We envision a community that lives by the highest values and core virtues of its rich faith traditions and respects the dignity of every person.
We live out these values by bringing together people from different faith perspectives and promoting congregational engagement through dialogue and fellowship.
The Faith Club is comprised of women of ALL faiths ranging from young adults to retirees. The group meets on the 4th Wednesday of the month with the exception of November and December at Park Road Baptist Church (3900 Park Rd, Charlotte 28209) from 7 to 8:30 PM.
This is a great opportunity to learn about each different faith traditions and to make lasting friendships.
