Eid is a joyous time of

thanksgiving.

Eid is manifested in a
wonderful brotherly
caring atmosphere; a
warm social and
humanitarian spirit.

Eid moves us into action,

into living our faith and
expressing it in a tangible
way.

At Eid we express our

thanks to God for His
goodness to us by
extending a hand of help
and giving to the poor and
needy

Eid is a time that we

remember Gods
mercy and compassion,
and in gratitude for His
forgiveness we forgive
those who have wronged
us.

Eid is a celebration of
peacethe kind of peace
that we feel deep within
that comes from being at
peace with God, and which
leads to being at peace with
our fellowmen

Eid also marks a time of

victory.A time when
we remember how God has
helped us make progress in
overcoming our weaknesses
and live more the way He
intends for us to live
unselfishly and with love in
our hearts for those around
us.

May this years Eid be

a celebration of
thanksgiving, giving,
forgiveness, victory,
and peace for us all!
Happy Eid!
