Today Green Class visited the Gurdwara in Smethwick as part of RE topic . We heard some interesting facts about the ten Gurus, the history of the religion and the building itself.
Did you know that the Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Smethwick is the oldest Gurdwara in Europe?
In the Langar Hall we had lunch and were very well fed. This Hall is very special and is where Sikhs share theirs Kindness and generosity with others in the form of food. People from all walks of life can come to the Langar Hall for a meal. The meal is free of charge. The Guru Nanak Gurdwara provide meals for over 6000 people a day, many of whom are homeless or have very little money. Other people come to the Langar to share food with friends and family. We gave a donation of milk, rice and butter during our visit today.
