Nazareth Area monthly gatherings at the Heritage Village home of Roseann Bowerman - 7 p.m.
2026-07-15 19:00 - 21:00
Hello dear friends,

The Nazareth Area Baha’is are resuming the monthly gatherings at the Heritage Village home of Roseann Bowerman, beginning on Weds. July 15. This month, in memory and honor of Roseann’s husband Douglas, we will be exploring the topic of Life after Death. Laura Lawrence and Roseann will look at the topic from the arenas of philosophy, psychology, and spiritual teachings and introduce the concept of this material life as a proving ground and preparation for the life to come, giving particular focus from the perspective of the Baha’i Faith.

We hope you can join us at 7 pm. Email Roseann for home address – rb04@lehigh.edu If you have interesting ideas you’ve come across from your own search for understanding please bring them to contribute to the discussion after the presentation.

As a heads up, 2 additional gatherings are planned for this summer. Tentatively they are:

Weds. Aug. 12: “Aha” moments and the independent investigation of Truth. Leader: Sally Eiler Cordova
Weds. Sept. 16: A Common Endeavor: Realizing the Promise of America. Leader: James West

If you can let us know in advance that you are coming that would be great but if suddenly at the last moment you can make it please just come! Bring a friend if you wish. RSVP to rb04@lehigh.edu

Sending you warm wishes,

Roseann

Directions to Little Pond
To find Little Pond, 92 South Penn Dixie Rd., Nazareth PA, take Rt. 248 (east from Rt. 512 in Bath PA or west from Rt. 191 in Nazareth PA) and then turn onto Penn Dixie Rd. After about a mile, look for the No. 92 mailbox on the left and opposite it on the right is our private lane with the Little Pond and Preserved Land sign. Please make sure to follow these directions since the GPS sometimes takes you to a different private lane further along Penn Dixie Rd., which leads to a different house! After turning onto our private lane, you will find us in the last building on the left – the Great Room of the Long Barn. You can also find directions on our website littlepond.org.
