On March 8th, 2025, Mosaic of Charlotte hosted a heartfelt and inclusive Friendship Iftar Dinner at Caldwell Presbyterian Church, bringing together friends, colleagues, and local partner organizations in a powerful display of unity, cultural exchange, and interfaith dialogue.
Held during the sacred month of Ramadan, the evening invited guests of all backgrounds to break fast together, learn from one another, and celebrate the diverse fabric of our Charlotte community.
A Night of Togetherness and Cultural Enrichment
This memorable Iftar dinner was filled with experiences that celebrated both faith and culture:
✨ Presentation on Ramadan – Sharing spiritual insights and fostering interfaith understanding
🍽️ Communal Iftar Meal – A delicious dinner served to all, promoting connection over shared food
🎶 Live Turkish Music – Providing a soulful soundtrack and cultural richness to the evening
🎨 Indian Henna Art Station – Allowing guests to enjoy beautiful, traditional designs
From the warmth of conversation to the vibrancy of cultural expressions, the evening embodied what Mosaic of Charlotte stands for: compassion, connection, and celebration of diversity.
Why Friendship Iftars Matter
These events go beyond sharing meals—they create space for:
Deepening understanding between different faiths and cultures
Building lasting relationships across communities
Celebrating diversity while focusing on shared values of generosity, empathy, and unity
In a world often divided by misunderstanding, Friendship Iftars serve as bridges—bringing people together through openness and shared humanity.
