The West Berkshire Baha’i Community has launched ‘Time to Unwind’ prayer and meditation devotional sessions on Wednesday evenings in Newbury.

West Berkshire Baha’i Shawn Khorassani said: “Inspiration, rejuvenation, motivation, purpose, meaning are all essential ingredients to one’s sense that his or her life is on track and is worth living. But day to day, one is hard-pressed to find or feel them and is challenged to maintain a positive, hopeful outlook.

” The Baha’i writings teach us that the Word of God provides inspiration, rejuvenates souls, gladdens hearts and renews one’s sense of purpose. The devotional gatherings we host in our homes are intended to create an environment of unity and harmony.”

Devotional sessions for September 2010 are:

  • Wednesday 8 September, 8pm to 10pm, Newbury. Subject Life After Death.
  • Wednesday 15 September, 8pm to 10pm, Newbury. Subject Prayer.

The West Berkshire Baha’i  Community has launched Sunday morning children’s classes in Newbury, for youngsters aged five to 10. 

Myra Erbenova, who holds the classes, said: “The Baha’i writings attach great importance to the periods of childhood and youth, providing clear guidance to parents and communities to raise children in a nurturing and unambigious environment. The moral and spiritual education of the next generation is vitally important.

“These classes are designed to help ensure that children grow strong intellectually, morally and spiritually. They encourage youngsters to develop a strong sense of purpose, whilst empowering their own transformation and leading them to contribute to the advancement of society.”

  • Sunday 12 September, 9.30am to 11am, Newbury.
