Join us in celebrating Chaharshanbe Suri, the exciting Persian Fire Festival, on the eve of the last Wednesday (Tuesday evening) before Nowruz (Persian New Year)! Enjoy fire-jumping, live music, dance, and a New Year’s market!
There will also be food trucks offering delicious Persian food for you to try. If you’d like, you can even experience the tradition of jumping over the fire! This event is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the richness of different cultures, especially as people from diverse backgrounds join us. By coming together, we can learn more about one another’s traditions, share stories, and build connections that reflect the beauty of multicultural community life. Let’s talk, celebrate, and grow in understanding as we honor the diversity among us!
Details:

• Location: Town Centre Park, 1299 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam, BC V3B 7S4

Important Notes:
• Please let Pastor Yosef know if you are coming, so we can arrange to meet up! Jess and Yosef plan to be the Rocky Mountain Ice Cream Shop at 4pm as an initial meet-up point. For those finishing work around 5 or 6 PM, please let Yosef know ahead of time if you’d like to carpool (parking is quite congested and hard to find). He can pick you up from the church, drop you at the park, and then find parking. Alternatively, it is about a 35 minute walk from the church, and you are welcome to park there and walk if the weather is nice!
• Also, please note that we will not have our Bible Study Saturday Gathering on March 22nd.
Looking forward to celebrating with you and learning more about each other’s cultures!
