🚗 Arrival & Parking
We expect a high turnout and ask for your cooperation in maintaining a peaceful environment for our neighbors:
– Carpooling: Please carpool where possible to maximize our limited parking space.
– Neighborly Conduct: Do not block private driveways, fire hydrants, or impede traffic flow.
– Compliance: Please follow the directions of local police and IOST volunteers to ensure a smooth transition between the two services.
❄️ Weather & Capacity Notice
Due to the forecasted cold temperatures and limited indoor capacity, please take the following precautions:
– Prepare for Cold: If the masjid reaches capacity, congregants will be directed to overflow areas outdoors. Please wear heavy winter coats, gloves, and warm layers.
– Bring a Prayer Mat: It is essential to bring your own mat if you are required to pray in the outdoor areas.
Post-Prayer: There will be no social activities at the masjid following the prayers due to the weather. We kindly ask families to head to their next destination promptly after the Khutbah.
