Published on by TVBahaiLeave a comment

Welcome to Thames Valley Bahai Community’s regular ‘thought for the month’ Bahai webpost.

Each thought is taken from the Bahai Reference Library.

Here’s September’s ‘thought for the month’: “There are many things which will, if neglected, be wasted, and come to nothing. How often in this world do we see a child who has lost his parents and who, unless attention be devoted to his education and training, can produce no fruit. And better off dead than alive is he who produceth no fruit. . . .” (From a Tablet – translated from the Persian) [11]

Published on by TVBahaiLeave a comment

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.”

Class dates for September 2010 are:

  • Sunday 12 September, 9.30am to 11am, Newbury.
  • Sunday 26 September, 9.30am to 11am, Newbury.
