The first event will be an information station set for 10 a.m. Saturday at the farmers market in The Gateway pavilion at the corner of Front and Lincoln streets.

“Tomorrow Together” is the theme of several events offered by the Interfaith Community to provide opportunities for positive interfaith experiences.

All events are free and donations will be accepted for Syrian refugees. Checks should be payable to the American Refugee Committee, with “Syria” on the message line.

The group has also planned the following events:

• Vigil for Victims of Violence — 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday at City Pier. Remembering and honoring those impacted by violence, with music and interfaith prayers; participants are welcome to bring battery-operated candles.

The songs are simple and dances will be taught.
