Would you like to experience the unifying effects of focusing on those qualities that make us human – the qualities that are the very best of what humans are and aspire to? Join us each month as we focus on a virtue and share with one another how it transforms our lives. Learn strategies for using these virtues to create safer, more caring, more supportive and effective families and communities. Come to one, come to all. The gatherings are designed for ages 10 to 100. Give yourself the gift of growing bonds of friendship while we celebrate what we have in common. All meetings are held at the Cedarburg Library, usually the last Monday of each month at 6:30pm. (Contact Jenny at jennywanasek@gmail.com for exact date)

Brookfield Mondays, generally every-other starting Oct 14
[Cedarburg Wednesdays, each week starting Oct 2, see earlier
announcement]

Important update and clarification.

Huqúqu’lláh deepening in Brookfield, WI.
Starting: Monday, October 14th, 7:00 – 8:30 pm.

Because of the twin Holy Days 10/28 we will have our second session on
Monday, November 4th.

Our plan is to meet every other Monday until completed. We expect to
cover 3 lessons per session. However, if the pace is different we will

Please RSVP and/or reach out to me if you have any questions. Please
respond through the contact information below for location in
Brookfield, WI

The “12 Lessons” – an organized and systematic approach to studying
the Law of Huqúqu’lláh:

“The aim is to learn about how to participate in the material affairs
of society in a way that is consistent with the divine precepts and
how, in practical terms, collective prosperity can be advanced through
justice and generosity, collaboration and mutual assistance…. *

“Examining one’s life to determine what is a necessity and then
discharging with joy one’s obligation in relation to the law of
Huququ’llah is an indispensable discipline to bring one’s priorities
into balance, purify whatever wealth one possesses, and ensure that
the share which is the Right of God provides for the greater good. At
all times, contentment and moderation, benevolence and fellow feeling,
sacrifice and reliance on the Almighty are qualities that befit the
God-fearing soul…. “

• Universal House of Justice Letter dated March 1st 2017

Contributing to the greater good.
