Dear Friends in the Allentown/Reading Cluster,

With much love and joy, the members of the Allentown/Reading Area Teaching Committee invite you to a special Reflection Gathering on Saturday, July 24, from 11 am to 1 pm via Zoom.

We are all blessed with a very special year. As the Universal House of Justice states in the final paragraph of its Ridvan 2021 message to The Baha’is of the World, “And so the One Year Plan begins.”

We are excited about this opportunity to celebrate the successes in our cluster and consider what we can contribute together during this very special year. Baha’is all over the world will offer service in tribute to the memory of the beloved Master by commemorating the 100th Anniversary of His Ascension. We would love to be with all of you on July 24, united in our vision of the possibilities before us. Marie McNair, Secretary of the Regional Baha’i Council, will be joining us for this gathering.

Please save the date and time – July 24 from 11 am to 1 pm – to join in this endeavor. The Zoom link is being emailed directly to the friends.

With warmest regards,
The Allentown/Reading Area Teaching Committee
