Fairhope Baha’is Host Devotional Gatherings

Encouraged by their National Spiritual Assembly, Fairhope Baha’is are striving to establish devotional gatherings with friends and family. All are invited.
Devotional gatherings draw on the power of prayer, meditate on the sacred word and reflect on applying spiritual principles to daily life. “Ultimately, they create bonds of unity, which support both physical and spiritual well-being in our communities,” says Beth Carrier, Fairhope Baha’i.
“Prior to the pandemic, we enjoyed the camaraderie of large in-person group meetings—there was an aura in the room,” says Sonya Bennett, Assembly Chair. As the pandemic lengthened, large gatherings were no longer safe. “I became grateful to see the faces and hear the voices of our friends over a computer screen,” adds Bennett. “With cooler weather upon us, we hope to safely initiate more small in-person groups soon,” says Carrier.
Currently, small groups are meeting for one-hour sessions during the day and evenings via Zoom.

Save the Date: Fairhope Baha’is in collaboration with friends of the Hope Community are also engaged in a project to celebrate the life of Nancy Lewis, an early African American settler to Fairhope. Look for a public event announcement closer to Juneteenth 2022.
