Subject: Invitation to WI Youth Gathering
March 5, 2018
To all youth (15-30 years old) residing in Wisconsin
Dearly loved friends,
Nearly 5 years ago, the Universal House of Justice called for youth
conferences to be held in many localities across the world. In a
message addressed to the Bahá’ís of the World announcing the
conferences, the House of Justice extended an invitation to “every
youth who recognizes in the methods and instruments of the Plan potent
means for movement towards a better society.” Many youth responded to
the call, and those who participated in the conferences received a new
surge of energy and were ready to commit to a life of service –
serving as children’s class teachers, animators, tutors, hosts for
devotional gatherings as well as accompanying others on the path of
service – in their communities or selected neighborhoods. Others went
on and dedicated their time to serve as home front pioneers.
On behalf of the Continental Board of Counsellors, it is with great
joy that we invite you to an evening youth gathering on Friday, March
23 hosted and facilitated by our dear Counsellor Sonlla Heern. The
gathering, intended for all youth in Wisconsin ages between 15 and 30,
will provide an opportunity for you to consult on the role youth play
in the community building process, share learning, as well as receive
guidance and inspiration, and make plans to continue your life of
service.
The gathering will be held on Friday, March 23 at the Madison Bahá’í
Center (324 W Lakeside St, Madison, WI 53715) from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00
p.m., with dinner. Please register here as soon as possible, as your
prompt registration will allow the friends coordinating the event to
make necessary arrangements. Overnight accommodation with local
friends will be arranged for those who may need to stay on Friday
evening, and childcare will also be provided for youth with young
children.
