Dear friends,
The Padfield family are hosting a devotional via Zoom (link below) this Sunday evening November 8, at 8:30pm and each Sunday thereafter. We will be saying prayers for Richard Beane (our son-in-law in Belize) and Shirin’s sister as well as others in the community in need of healing prayers. We will also offer healing prayers for our community, country and the world.
We would be happy to have you join us and would welcome anything you would like to contribute in the form of prayers, Writings, or poems.
We hope to see you on Sunday night.
With loving regards,
Moira Padfield

Roseann Bowerman will tutor Ruhi Book 10 Unit 2 Consultation. This is a relatively short Ruhi book of 48 pages, but it is a very powerful and relevant study of this amazing gift of Baha’u’llah to society. “Problems, challenges, and opportunities are a part of the human experience. They are used in a way for us to grow and evolve. Consultation is a technique that elevates the quest for solutions to a spiritual level and conditioned on the Will of God as it is understood. Like driving an automobile, the mechanics of Consultation need to be identified as well as practiced. Like any skill, the proficiency is accomplished by doing.”
Print copies of this Ruhi book are on their way to Phil Dunmire. Please contact Phil to arrange to pick up or have a copy delivered to you. Contact Phil at 856-625-1652 or at phil@dunmire.info
Also, the book, “In Pursuit of Hope,” which the adult class was studying at BLC prior the covid pandemic, is available for continued study for those interested. For information contact Houman Ahdieh at 610-737-3938 or at houmanahdieh@yahoo.com .
