“The transformation in the individual and in society are intimately linked.
Developing one’s potential and working for the welfare of society cannot be separated,
for a person’s moral standards and behavior shape his or her environment
and in turn are molded by the structure of society.”

The theme is “Blessed are those who work in groups” – Abdu’l Baha

Our sacred texts, poetry, stories and music will be focusing on leadership, tolerance, and conflict resolution.
We are delighted that this Devotional is a collaboration with Bob Fahringer, who will be providing the live music.

As always, the Devotional program will be followed by refreshments and discussion. It helps us to know if you are coming, so please respond to bridgetgeorge9@gmail.com.

We do hope you will join us, and of course you are welcome to forward this invitation to your friends.
