19 Day Feast

The gates of the Kingdom are opened wide, and every favoured soul is seated at the banquet table of the Lord, receiving his portion of that heavenly feast.

Praised be God, thou too art present at this table, taking thy share of the bountiful food of heaven. Thou art serving the Kingdom, and art well acquainted with the sweet savours of the Abhá Paradise.

-- `Abdu'l-Bahá

Local Assembly Meetings

Come ye together in gladness unalloyed, and at the beginning of the meeting, recite ye this prayer:

O Thou Lord of the Kingdom! Though our bodies be gathered here together, yet our spellbound hearts are carried away by Thy love, and yet are we transported by the rays of Thy resplendent face. Weak though we be, we await the revelations of Thy might and power. Poor though we be, with neither goods nor means, still take we riches from the treasures of Thy Kingdom. Drops though we be, still do we draw from out Thy ocean deeps. Motes though we be, still do we gleam in the glory of Thy splendid Sun. O Thou our Provider! Send down Thine aid, that each one gathered here may become a lighted candle, each one a center of attraction, each one a summoner to Thy heavenly realms, till at last we make this nether world the mirror image of Thy Paradise.

--'Abdu'l-Bahá

Dear Friends, We have been informed by the NSA that as from the evening of April 20, Bracknell Forest will be split due to the boundary changes. We will now have 1 Bahá'í in Binfield, 1 Bahá'í in Crowthorne, 9 Bahá'ís in Sandhurst and 5 Bahá'ís in Bracknell Forest. This means that we now have the opportunity to create 4 assemblies where before we could only have one. Sandhurst will be the first to be able to form Their new Assembly will form on the evening of 20 April. Love and greetings the ex secretary of the Spiritual Assembly of Bracknell Forest. (well everything has it's good points)
