St. Louis, Missouri - Area-Wide Reflection Meeting to be held.
Dear Friends,
I hope this message finds each of you well and happy.
The MO-01 core team sends to you its warmest greetings and prayers. There
continues to be wonderful developments from the the efforts the friends in the
path of the Plan, at the closing of the current three month cycle of growth in
our cluster. Three adults enrolled in the Faith through their involvement in
the core activities and the friends are taking advantage of opportunities to
engage newly made acquaintances in spiritual conversations about the Teachings
of Baha’u’llah. There are sure to be many more exciting stories reported in the
upcoming reflection gatherings, as the friends share their teaching and
service experiences.
Two “Education Under Fire” programs were
organized and the film screened; one at Fontbonne University and one at the
Washington University School of Medicine. A total of more than thirty-seven
students and faculty participated in these well organized gatherings and many
questions were asked about the persecution of Baha’is in Iran, as well as,
general questions about the Faith. Youth who arranged and conducted these
gatherings did a fantastic job! The cluster is blessed to have such capable,
energetic and youthful resources arising in service to the Cause.
The cluster is approaching the launch of its twenty-first
growth cycle, with promises of even greater successes in establishing core
activities in neighborhoods across the cluster. Please join the MO-01 core
team in one of the upcoming Reflection gatherings and share your teaching
stories, experiences and learning from your activities, during this current
three month cycle of growth. There continues to be more and more
receptive souls in our cluster seeking to connect with a process that restores
human nobility and a meaningful purpose in life. May the Blessed Beauty
increase our desire and efforts to respond to such growing receptivity.
