PURPOSE
On the 15th anniversary of September 11, 2001, the Islamic Society of Akron and Kent, Temple Beth Shalom, and First Congregational Church of Hudson commit to rising above fear by uniting in love and service. This year, through the First Serve Serve First service event, our three faith communities will partner with first responders in the greater Akron, Cleveland areas and within Hudson neighborhoods. As we work together with first responders and neighbors, we hope to foster trusting relationships that lead to cooperation, compassion and ultimately peace.

Each year on the second Sunday in September, members and friends come together to worship, then separate into crews to go out to work in service to those in need. This year a great collaboration between our faith communities will add to this special day.
