Hope is the subject of the ‘Time to Unwind’ prayer and meditation devotional session being held by the West Berkshire Baha’i Community in Newbury, from 8pm to 10pm on Wednesday 24 November.

West Berkshire Baha’i Myra Erbenova said: “Hope is an important topic for Bahais.  The writings of Bahá’u’lláh themselves are a message of upliftment and hope to humanity, with unity as its central principle and ultimate promise.”

Bahais are taught to “look ye not upon the present, fiz your gaze upon the times to come.’ In the beginning, how small is the seed, yet in the end it its a mighty tree. Look ye not upon the seed, look ye upon the tree, and its blossoms, and its leaves and its fruits.”

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.
