Faith Connections in Beeston --- the GNNSJ Gurudwara

Where do Sikhs come from? How do Sikhs practise their faith? What are their values? How is a new born child given its name? What are the 5Ks and why are they important? Why is a turban important and how is it fastened?
There will be a tour of the building and an opportunity to find out answers to the above questions and others which you may have. Sharing and equality are important aspects of the faith and this extends to food. You will be invited into the kitchen/dining area to sample the hospitality.
Removal of shoes and a simple head covering will be required
This event is timed to allow an earlier vist to the nearby Jamia Masjid Abu Huraira (mosque) and so give the opportunity to explore two sites and two faiths in one morning.
