DESCRIPTION:Dear Baha’i Friends\,\n \nOn behalf of the Area Teaching Committee\, we are pleased to invite you to our Cluster Reflection Gathering on Saturday January 18th\, 10am at Little Pond in the Great Room of the Barn.\nWe are delighted that Stephen Vaccaro is trying his best to join us for this important gathering. \n \nOur devotions\, reflections\, Stephen’s remarks\, and our collective consultation as we go forward as a loving and growing community will be followed by refreshments. \nThen a few minutes after 12:00 Noon\, we will celebrate together with the inspiring treat of watching the 90-minute feature movie Abdu’l Baha in France\, a 90-minute documentary film produced by Spring Green Films and Perry Productions.\nThe film features interviews\, re-enactments\, animation\, motion graphics and location footage of the sites visited by Abdu’l Baha in France during his travels in 1911 and 1913 and as one viewer commented:\n \n“What a stupendous accomplishment this is–I believe you have managed to embed love in the filmmaking\, which can be felt by the viewer. That love\, which is found throughout this beautiful work of art\, is expressed in the mining of rich stories\, the capturing and careful curation of essential and relevant topics for today.”\n \nWe hope to see as many of you as possible because the more of us that gather\, the brighter the flame of our consultation and service.\nIf you need directions to Little Pond\, 92 S. Penn Dixie Rd.\, Nazareth\, you can find them on our website\, Directions – Little Pond Arts Retreat.\n \nWith loving greetings from the Area Teaching Committee\,\nHouman Ahdieh\, Shirin Khalighi\, Laura Lawrence\, Bridget George\, and Anne Bivans\n\n \n  URL:https://www.bahailv.org/event/allentown-reading-cluster-reflection-gathering-on-saturday-january-18-2025-from-11-am-to-1-pm/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bahailv.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Cluster-Reflection-meeting..jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250119T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250119T120000 DTSTAMP:20260425T072016 CREATED:20240903T234607Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241203T033839Z UID:10001932-1737280800-1737288000@www.bahailv.org SUMMARY:Bahai Learning Center in Allentown (Lehigh Valley Center for Sight\, 1739 Fairmont Street\, Allentown 18104).
