A reminder of the Unity Cafe coming up soon on Friday, January 17th.

This event will be at  7 pm at the North Dumfries Community Complex.  As usual, following the program there will be refreshments and relaxing-socializing. So feel free to bring a guest if you wish!

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

Reflection Gathering

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)
