Millennials
Did you know that we have a Mahabba prayer group just for millennials? It was launched in January. It is for anyone aged between 18-40. The group meets once a month on Zoom to share stories, testimonies and prayer. The focus is praying for Muslim millennials and for those working with this age group. We have 40 millennials signed up, many of them are from London, but there are others from around the country. Recently, one of the members went out to serve in the Middle East. If you, or anyone you know, would like to get information from this group you can sign up through the website or contact Annie for more information: millennials@mahabbanetwork.com

Join us for the face to face
The core leaders of the Mahabba Network are very much looking forward to meeting together in person for a face to face meeting in Birmingham on 23rd and 24th November. Mahabba is a relational Network and meeting together in person to pray and plan is really important to us. We would love to have the whole Network there and Zoom now makes this virtually possible! We are opening the sessions that are suitable for a hybrid meeting for you to join us. Mahabba aspires to be a grassroots led network. Come and join us and help us shape the future growth and life of the Network:
1. Wednesday 23rd 4:30-6:00pm (Where we're at as a Network and thinking about how we resource it)
2. Thursday 24th 9:00-11:00am (World Café - what do you want from the Network?)
3. Thursday 24th 2:30-4:00pm (Abdullah on reaching Muslims in their 20s & 30s)

The Support Circle
Last month we talked briefly about our Mahabba circles and how they fit into our vision. This month the focus is on the Support Circle. This group has volunteers who are responsible for the Mahabba prayer initiatives, for finance and for the general running of the network. They meet once a month on Zoom to check in with projects, update on the latest news and pray for one another.
