As there are so many people to thank, I would like to show our gratitude through your columns.

On Sunday, local church groups and others attended an Open Day at the Mosque – Masjid E-Anwaar in Granville Road. 

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit which was extremely well-organised and enlightening. We learned so much by listening to speakers, watching prayer in the Mosque itself, being shown around the Madrassa and invited to ask questions.

We enjoyed a wonderful welcome and kindness from our new friends and also a delicious buffet.

It will be extremely beneficial to have more of these get-togethers in future, hopefully soon.
