A feast for Feast! What a wonderful Bahai gathering to honour the Feast of Perfection ❤️

Local Bahai's from across Cambridgeshire came together to pray, reflect, and, of course, feast on this delicious spread lovingly prepared by Renata. We were all so fortunate to enjoy her homemade, Brazilian-inspired sweet treats, shared amongst friends 🥰

Join the Ely Bahai community this Sunday 19th July for an afternoon of meaningful conversations, themed activities based around arts and crafts, and light refreshments. Plus, the East Anglian Air Ambulance Charity will be joining us for CPR training with the youth as part of their service project!

All welcome ❤️

“The betterment of the world can be accomplished through pure and goodly deeds and through commendable and seemly conduct.”

Prayer need not be in words, but rather in thought and attitude. But if this love and this desire are lacking, it is useless to try to force them. Words without love mean nothing. If a person talks to you as an unpleasant duty, finding neither love nor enjoyment in the meeting, do you wish to converse with him? - ⠀ ⠀

Ely Baha'is Simin and Bruce Liggitt made wonderful new friends this week at the Baha'i House of Worship in Frankfurt - with people from Germany, Pakistan and The Netherlands! 🌎🇩🇪🇵🇰🇳🇱

Simin was honoured to be invited to offer a prayer in this special place - definitely one of the highlights of the trip 🙏

​Did you know this beautiful building in Frankfurt is open to everyone? The Baha’i House of Worship is a space for all people to unite 🌎

Fun fact: The nine doors around the building represent the idea that we’re all part of one human family 🌎❤️

We came together to spend a wonderful evening celebrating Naw-Rúz, the beginning of the Baha’i new year! 🎉

The theme of the evening was peace and unity, and we enjoyed a feast of home cooked food, prayer, music, and laughter. Happy Naw-Rúz to you all! 🥳🕊️

"I hope that you will use your understanding to promote the unity and tranquillity of mankind, to give enlightenment and civilization to the people, to produce love in all around you, and to bring about the universal peace.

Study the sciences, acquire more and more knowledge. Assuredly one may learn to the end of one’s life! Use your knowledge always for the benefit of others; so may war cease on the face of this beautiful earth, and a glorious edifice of peace and concord be raised."

"Those who work singly are as drops, but, when united, they will become a vast river carrying the cleansing water of life into the barren desert places of the world."

- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

Unity in diversity 🕊️

When a drop draws help from the ocean, it is an ocean in itself, and a little seed, through the outpouring of rain, the favor of the sun and the soul-refreshing breeze, will become a tree with the utmost freshness, full of leaves, blossoms and fruits. Therefore, do not consider thy capacity and merit, but rely upon the infinite bounty and trust to His Highness the Almighty. Do not delay. Undertake soon that which thou art intending. -
