Study of the Grassroots Documents. Click for details.
2020-06-18 19:30 - 20:30
Dearest Friends,
Our Auxiliary Board Members, Kathy Penn and Stephen Vacarro have asked their assistants in this area to host a series of guided conversations with the friends in the Allentown/Reading cluster to review a compilation of documents created by the Continental Counselors of North America. The time we are presently living in urgently reinforces the need to share Baha’u’llah’s message of the oneness of humanity. This compilation, entitled “Grassroots Document” begins by exploring the Spiritual Potential of North America and moves on to encourage exploration and conversation on concrete actions we can take to expand the process of transformation of ourselves and our communities.
Please join us for a series of one-hour study sessions on selected Thursday evenings in June and July at 7:30 pm via Zoom. The sessions will build on each other so we ask that if at all possible you join us for each session. The dates are June 18 and 25 as well as July 2 and 16.
Register in advance for this meeting:

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. We will also send you the study documents via email.
We look forward to conversing and growing together.

Beloved friends,

Please join us at 2 pm, Sunday. June 7 for a Devotional Gathering with the Theme of Perseverance.

Praise be to God! that ye are gathered in one assembly like unto the stars of the Pleiades, are illumined with the light of the knowledge of God and through the outpouring of the cloud of the love of God,
ye are the fresh flowers of the meadow and plain; ye are intimate and familiar with infinite unity and love.

–Abdu’l Baha
