  By

(Registration is now closed. We look forward to seeing everyone at the School!)

Nurturing Hope in a Chaotic World:
Brightening the Light of Justice

“Trust in the capacity of this generation to disentangle itself from the embroilments of a divided society. To discharge your responsibilities, you will have to show forth courage, the courage of those who cling to standards of rectitude, whose lives are characterized by purity of thought and action, and whose purpose is directed by love and indomitable faith.” ~ The Universal House of Justice

Friday August 31 – Monday, September 3, 2018

Location: La Foret Conference and Retreat Center, Black Forest, CO

Please join us at the Colorado East Bahá’í Summer School! We will begin to delve into the writings of Shoghi Effendi to help us study and consult on how to best transform both ourselves and our communities and walk together the path towards America’s Spiritual Destiny.

We will enjoy devotions and music, along with time for fellowship, reflection and recreation. The children and junior youth will be on the same path of study including some all-ages classes where we can learn together. A nursery is available for the young ones during class time.

Everyone is welcome!  Invite the children and their parents who are in your neighborhood children’s classes, invite the junior youth and their parents, invite those who attend devotions and those in your study circles.  Invite those whose homes you visit or those who visit you.

Together we can build communities that are havens of unity!

 

“If he attends his summer school— and everyone without exception is urged to take advantage of attending it—let him consider such an occasion as a welcome and precious opportunity so to enrich, through lectures, study, and discussion, his knowledge of the fundamentals of his Faith as to be able to transmit, with greater confidence and effectiveness, the Message that has been entrusted to his care. Let him, moreover, seek, whenever feasible, through intercommunity visits to stimulate the zeal for teaching, and to demonstrate to outsiders the zest and alertness of the promoters of his Cause and the organic unity of its institutions.” ~ Shoghi Effendi

No 2018 Winter School

  By

The Colorado East Bahá’í School wants to update you on some exciting programs to be implemented in Colorado in the coming year.

Seasonal Schools across the United States are being encouraged by the U.S. Bahá’í Office of Education and Schools to implement the “Hope & the Family” curriculum in their respective regional areas. This program is to be implemented in neighborhoods that have strong Bahá’í and Community of Interest involvement in the core activities. This series explores how Bahá’ís and the Community of Interest can collaboratively and systematically build capacity through reading their current reality, talking about material and spiritual hopes, and understanding the example of service to the community by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá.  For more information on “Hope and the Family” please read the article in the March/April 2017 American Bahá’í.

The committee is working to identify Colorado neighborhoods with potential to begin implementing this series. As our knowledge and resources grow, we plan to expand it to more neighborhoods ready to engage in the process. We are very excited for this new program and the ways in which it will complement the work of the clusters.

To allow us to focus our efforts on this program, we have decided NOT to hold a Winter School this January (2018).  We do intend to hold Summer School in 2018, likely once again on Labor Day weekend at La Foret (not definite yet).

Thank you for your continued to support of the Colorado East Bahá’í School!

Fostering Unity through Creative Conversations

A kindly tongue is the lodestone of the hearts of men. It is the bread of the spirit, it clotheth the words with meaning, it is the fountain of the light of wisdom and understanding…” (Bahá’u’lláh)

Everyone is welcome!  Invite the children and their parents who are in your neighborhood children’s classes, invite the junior youth and their parents, invite those who attend devotions and those in your study circles.  Invite those whose homes you visit or those who visit you.

O ye friends! Fellowship, fellowship! Love, love! Unity, unity! – so that the power of the Bahá’í Cause may appear and become manifest in the world of existence. My thoughts are turned towards you, and my heart leaps within me at your mention. Could ye know how my soul glows with your love, so great a happiness would flood your hearts as to cause you to become enamored with each other. (‘Abdu’l-Bahá, from the Tablets of the Divine Plan)
