Contemplation and Prayer

STILL RUNNING! Contemplation and Prayer: an informal weekly devotional gathering at the home of Dharlene and Sheldon Valeda, 65 Hohner Ave., downtown Kitchener. 

Every Saturday morning at 11:00 AM, we begin by saying a few prayers together, sometimes dedicated to a particular individual or theme. We then look carefully together at one pre-selected prayer, and contemplate it deeply.

"... a universal place  of worship open to all the inhabitants of a locality irrespective of their religious affiliation, background, ethnicity, or gender and a haven for the deepest contemplation on spiritual reality and foundational questions of life..." Universal House of Justice, Dec.18, 2014

What are Baha'i "firesides"? These are typically informal gatherings with discussions on topics of spiritual import, usually related to Baha'i principles. They sometimes begin with a brief talk or reading of a passage to stimulate the conversation.

Everyone is welcome to attend and join in on the conversation, regardless of your belief background. (We will be meeting indoors, and may not have an actual fire...)
