*REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED*
The MSA at WMU is launching a new initiative aimed at personal development for Muslims from our region. Aptly titled ‘Spiritual Growth Series’ the first installment takes place on the WMU campus From October 22 to October 23, 2010.
The inaugural SGS will be a mini-conference focusing on ‘Building Bridges’ between us and God, fellow Muslims, local Muslim organizations, and non-Muslims.
Ustadh Usama Canon, who heads the respected Zaytuna Institute’s outreach program, now spun-off on its own, called Ta’leef Collective, will be assisting us build our bridges using the knowledge and wisdom he has gained building the Muslim community in the Bay area of California and studying under world renown scholars.
Please join us in making ourselves and our community a better place.
Registration is required and seats are limited.
- Although the conference is free, a suggested donation of $15 a person is requested and can be given at the door.
