Reflection Meetings: First Tuesday of Every Month
with the Association of Baha’i Women.

There will be a short program of readings/quotations from different Faiths including wise words from world literature or poetry interspersed with music. Each evening has a theme. The purpose is to take a break from the daily stresses, to reflect and to spiritualize life. This is followed by discussion and light refreshments. All very informal, and all are welcome.
