Salaam everyone! Hope everyone had a nice break! Starting from this Friday (January 26), Jummah prayer will be held in the Packer chapel. This is bigger than the dialogue center basement so there will be more room for men and women. Khutbah will start at 1:10. There will be some setup/cleanup required with the prayer rugs so if you are available, let me know and come 10-15 minutes earlier! ... Jazakallah Khair
