This year’s theme is Peace. This event will feature a silent auction, a youth art project, and live performances!
YOUTH INTERFAITH ART PROJECT
Youth of all ages and all faiths are invited to decorate 6" by 6" card stock for a collective art piece. Through drawing/painting, poetry/writing share your vision of what faith, peace, unity, and community look like for you. Make in advance and bring or create it at the event. This is not a competition and there will be no judgement of your art piece. This is a community-building art project for youth. At the event, we will create a collective banner with your art pieces to symbolize unity and community.
If you are part of a youth group for young people of faith and would like to participate in this art project, please email [email protected]; we can come visit your group to discuss the project and the potluck event.
SILENT AUCTION FUNDRAISER
The Kingston Interfaith Community is a completely volunteer run group. We are hosting a silent auction fundraiser at this year’s potluck. Some silent auction items include a hand-knit sweater, quilted tote bags, hand-made aprons, a baby quilt, and a home-cooked meal. People will be able to make purchases for the silent auction through cash, e-transfer, and debit or credit card (square payment).
LIVE PERFORMANCES
Live performances include a dance from a group of Ismaili youth, a youth performance from the Geetanjali Cultural Temple of Kingston, songs and interactive dance led by a local klezmer band, and a song performed by Baháʼí youth.

Kingston Interfaith Community Mission Statement: Sharing our faiths, spiritual traditions, and beliefs. Fostering mutual growth in respect and understanding for the good of all.
Our meetings begin with the following acknowledgment:
We gather as one Kingston Interfaith Community
Like a growing Cedar tree,
our leaves are healing, fed by the sun and moon that shine on all of us equally;
our branches are plenty, they reach out to the One we know and call by many names;
our trunk is strong, held together by our faiths and spiritual traditions;
our roots are nourished by mutual growth in understanding, fed by the four directions;
and this tree is planted on this ground that many Indigenous Peoples call home now and have always done so.
We give thanks to the Creator, to the sun and moon, to this land, and to each other –
in peace, respect, and friendship.
