Interfaith Summer Nights will start July 9 in Poway

Come out and learn about a variety of religions with the 10th annual Interfaith Summer Nights, which begins on Thursday, July 9.

This series will run through July and features four nights of finger foods, faith and fun from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of the Community Church of Poway, 13501 Community Road.

Attendance is free, but a free-will offering will be graciously accepted to help Interfaith continue its work.

Each event will begin with a buffet of finger foods at 6:30 p.m., with the program beginning promptly at 7 p.m.

After the presentations will be a Q-and-A session, as well as a round table discussion and interacive activities to finish off the evening.

All attendees are invited to bring their favorite faith-based art, poetry or scripture verse that is meaningful to them to share at the round tables.

The first event, on July 9, will be “Expressions of the Divine Through Music,” and will feature a Unitarian Universalist youth choir, Sikh Foundation musical youth group, the San Rafael Handbell Choir, an Indian classical vocalist, Bahai devotionals, an Amazing Grace video and a performance from Cantor Lori Frank from Temple Adat Shalom.

The event on Thursday, July 16 will be “Understanding the Symbols and Art of the Faith;” Thursday, July 23 will be “Sacred Expressions, Personal and Meaningful Through Poetry;” and the final event on Thursday, July 30 is “Commonalities of our Spiritual Journeys and our Oneness through Scripture.” There will be cake on July 30 to celebrate the 10th anniversary.
