First Day of Ridvan - Hosted by Bill & Bridget George. Click here for details.
2021-04-20 18:30 - 20:00
Dear Friends,

We will be holding the First Day of Ridvan celebration at Little Pond this Tuesday at 6:30.p.m. The event will take place at the top of the hill (assuming the weather continues to be promising).
Park behind the long barn, along the front of the long barn, down by our house — as necessary. Bill will be there to help as necessary.
We will gather in a large circle at the top of the hill around a central “speaking” table.
There will be a welcome, some business discussed, and then a brief ceremony of planned readings (about twenty minutes)

There will then be an opportunity for anyone to come up and speak their thoughts, say a prayer, read a poem, sing a song — however you are so moved.
There will be a car to drive up those who find the climb up the hill to be too taxing (and to drive back down).
There will be chairs for those who need to sit, though we don’t have an endless number.
We will videotape this event so that it can be shared later with those friends who can’t make it.

A few guidelines, as this is the first time we’ve met in person in quite a while and Covid precautions must be maintained.

Please be on time so we can begin promptly and finish before it’s very dark. It takes about ten minutes to park and walk to the top of the hill.
Please wear masks unless reading a prayer or singing.
Please keep six feet distance from friends unless you’re in a pod. (elbow greetings are fine!)
We will have bottles of water available.

That’s it! Simple. Any questions, give me a call: 610-570-1335

With much love and blessings at this beautiful time and extraordinary time. Oh ye dawnbreakers of the morning of God.

Bill

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 .
