On February 27, 2026, an evening of light and friendship unfolded in Henderson as Silver Sage Foundation gathered with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for a heartfelt Iftar during the sacred month of Ramadan. For the second year in a row, our Latter-day Saint friends opened their house of worship not only as gracious hosts, but as true partners in fellowship. Side by side, we set the tables, prepared the meal, and awaited the sunset together in quiet, shared anticipation; hearts aligned in purpose long before the fast was broken. The warmth in the room could be felt long before the first date was tasted.
We are grateful for the presence of Michelle Romero, along with Henderson Councilmen Dan Stewart and Jim Seebock, whose attendance reflected the spirit of unity that defines our city.
A special highlight of the evening was Ms. Mukaddes’ engaging presentation on understanding Ramadan. With clarity and grace, she explained that fasting is more than abstaining from food and drink; it is a discipline of gratitude, empathy, and spiritual refinement.
We are deeply grateful to Ms. Allison Egbert, Mr. Martin Egbert, and Ryan Woodward for partnering with us so wholeheartedly and for opening not only their place of worship, but their hearts. Their sincerity, generosity, and gracious hospitality transformed a simple gathering into something far more meaningful; a true experience of shared belonging.
Silver Sage Foundation extends heartfelt thanks to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to every individual who made this night possible. It was more than a meal. It was friendship in action; sincere, mutual, and rooted in faith; a living testament that when hearts open, communities flourish.
