Cluster Expansion Phase - Day 4

6/19/2018

"...If a small number of people gather lovingly together, with absolute purity and sanctity, with their hearts free of the world, experiencing the emotions of the Kingdom and the powerful magnetic forces of the Divine, and being at one in their happy fellowship, that gathering will exert its influence over all the earth. The nature of that band of people, the words they speak, the deeds they do, will unleash the bestowals of Heaven, and provide a foretaste of eternal bliss. The hosts of the Company on high will defend them, and the angels of the Abhá Paradise, in continuous succession, will come down to their aid."
(Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Bahá, p. 81)

Endeavours:

We started a new devotional in the focus neighborhood of Rutland. The theme was around "True Happiness" we share our though around the quotes and prayers. This was followed by a disused how to draw others into this space and a date was set for the next one.
The Lion's Project, teaching campaign team gathered together to continue its plans. A few adults and youth will be gathering on the 23rd and 24th for a weekend of prayers, study and outreach/home visits to youth to extending an invite to the upcoming summer campaign. This wknd will be followed by an Info night on the 26th.
What was to be an evening of mowing the lawn turned into a opportunity to continue to build on the relationships we are trying to make with our neighbors. It started with one of my neighbors coming over to talk, then his wife joined us followed by a 2nd neighbor, eventually there were six of us. By the time we went our separate ways an invite had been extended to me to visit one of the families on Canada Day.

During the expansion phase we would like to have at least one home/space open each day, for friends to gather together for prayers.

0 Comments

"By the righteousness of God! Whoso openeth his lips in this Day and maketh mention of the name of his Lord, the hosts of Divine inspiration shall descend upon him from the heaven of My name, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise. On him shall also descend the Concourse on high, each bearing aloft a chalice of pure light. Thus hath it been foreordained in the realm of God's Revelation, by the behest of Him Who is the All-Glorious, the Most Powerful."

(Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh p. 280) ere to edit.

Endeavors:

We had a good neighbourhood get together at our place last night which was attended by

10 adults, one youth and one Jr. youth.
We were able to talk about our devotional gathering and got two people that might be interested to attend in the future.

The first day of the Prayer Campaign saw four of us gathered together to say prayers followed by spiritual conversations.

During the expansion phase friends we would like to have at least one home open for friends to gather together for prayers.

Central Okanagan Cluster-Expansion Phase - Day 2

6/17/2018

0 Comments

As our cluster's Expansion Phase begins we hope that these two weeks will be marked with intensity and vigour in our teaching endeavours, as we work towards our goal of having meaningful conversations and home visits.

Each day of the Expansion Phase, a quotation will be posted, so that we may all feel inspired as we carry out our teaching work. Please also send any teaching stories that you would like to share with the community to the Area Teaching Committee, so that we can all partake in the joy of teaching.

"Today, as never before, the magnet which attracts the blessings from on high is teaching the Faith of God. The Hosts of Heaven are poised between heaven and earth, just waiting, and patiently, for the Bahá’í to step forth, with pure devotion and consecration, to teach the Cause of God, so they may rush to his aid and assistance."

(Shoghi Effendi, The Compilation of Compilations vol II, p. 223)

Central Okanagan Cluster - Expansion Phase - Day 1

6/16/2018

0 Comments

"Equipped with skills and methods, effective and accessible to all, and encouraged by the response their actions elicit, the believers are entering into closer association with people of many walks of life, engaging them in earnest conversation on themes of spiritual import. With greater and greater spiritual perception, they are able to sense receptivity and recognize thirst for the vivifying waters of Bahá’u’lláh’s message. From among all those they encounter—parents of neighborhood children, peers at school, colleagues at work, casual acquaintances—they seek out souls with whom they can share a portion of that which He has so graciously bestowed on humanity."
(27 December 2005 Message from The Universal House of Justice to the Conference of the Continental Boards of Counsellors)
