Music Ministry Day is an opportunity for liturgical musicians to take workshops to better their skills as music ministers and to deepen their faith and spirituality. Ricky Manalo, Megan Bernstein, and Jesse Manibusan will be giving the morning workshops, and the afternoon will consist of a panel session where you may get all your questions pertaining to music ministry answered. We are very fortunate to have these 3 talented clinicians to come and bring us back to our roots. Why do we love serving the church through our passion of music? How can we improve? This event is open to everyone, and you do not have to be a musician to attend. Spread the word and we hope to see you there. Biographies of the speakers and overviews of the workshops are located on the Facebook event page.

America was founded in part on the concept of religious freedom. Many today consider Muslims a grave threat to that founding principle. Is Islam incompatible with the free exercise of religion? Grasp the concepts, understand the propositions, then you be the judge.
Hamza Yusuf is president, co-founder, and senior faculty member at Zaytuna College, the first Muslim liberal arts college in the United States. He is also an advisor to Stanford University’s Program in Islamic Studies and the Center for Islamic Studies at Berkeley’s Graduate Theological Union. Yusuf serves as a member of the board of advisors of George Russell’s One Nation, a national philanthropic initiative that promotes pluralism and inclusion in America. In addition, he serves as vice-president for the Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies, which was founded and is currently presided over by Shaykh Abdallah bin Bayyah, one of the top jurists and masters of Islamic sciences in the world. Most recently, Yusuf contributed to the writing of the Marrakesh Declaration (2016) in Morocco affirming the rights of religious minorities in Muslim-majority countries, and met with Pope Francis in Rome to discuss the implications of this declaration.
