The Reflection Gathering is Friday Aug 16th from 7-10 PM at the Mill Courtland Community Centre. Potluck refreshments. This centre is transit accessible and has ample parking. Thanks to the Kitchener LSA for providing this venue.
At the Reflection Gathering we will begin with potluck refreshments followed by devotions and study of guidance from our institutions. We will also share our learnings on devotionals, children’s and junior youth spiritual education and empowerment and how the institute process supports us in building vibrant communities across our cluster.
The Reflection Gathering is also a space where we can make advances in our plans to teach our friends, kin, neighbours, colleagues during this special period of potency leading to the bicentenary of the Birth of the Bab this October.
Our beloved NSA has reminded us of the “intensity, discipline and concentrated, creative effort of the friends during the period surrounding the bicentenary of the Birth of Bahá’u’lláh… All that was learned at that time is now ready to be channeled into your efforts to nurture every seed you have planted and plant new ones, as the community advances towards the celebrations for the Twin Holy Birthdays this year. We pray that your conversations as friends, families, fellow-gardeners, at this Feast and beyond, will draw out this experience and reinforce your efforts. To this end, we hope that the friends consulting at this Feast might think about how they can carry its spirit and widen its embrace to those who have not been able to participate.” (NSA, 16 May, 2019)
