Devotional gatherings are held in which friends, Bahá’ís and others alike, unite in prayer and awaken spiritual susceptibilities within the participants. Study circles are small groups that meet once or twice a week for a few hours, and participants arise to carry out specific acts of service. “Work done in the spirit of service is the highest form of worship.”

(Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 83) Services for children / available child care: Bahá’ís see the young as the most precious treasure a community can possess. “Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom.” (Baha’u’llah, Tablets of Baha’u’llah, p.

Statement of beliefs: Throughout history, God has sent to humanity a series of divine Educators—known as Manifestations of God—whose teachings have provided the basis for the advancement of civilization. These Manifestations have included Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad. Bahá’u’lláh, the latest of these Messengers, explained that the religions of the world come from the same Source and are in essence successive chapters of one religion from God. Baha’u’llah’s Revelation affirms that the purpose of our lives is to know God and to attain His presence.

Our true identity is our rational soul, whose free will and powers of understanding enable us to continually better ourselves and our society. Walking a path of service to God and to humanity

The Baha’i Faith is the youngest of the world’s independent monotheistic religions. Founded in Iran in 1844, it now has more than five million adherents in 236 countries and territories. Baha’is come from nearly every national, ethnic and religious background, making the Baha’i Faith the second-most-widespread religion in the world.

Baha’is view the world’s major religions as a part of a single, progressive process through which God reveals His will to humanity. Baha’u’llah (1817-1892), the Founder of the Baha’i Faith, is recognized as the most recent in a line of Divine Messengers that stretches back beyond recorded time and includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad. The central theme of Baha’u’llah’s message is that humanity is one single race and that the day has come for humanity’s unification into one global society. While reaffirming the core ethical principles common to all religions, Baha’u’llah also revealed new laws and teachings to lay the foundations of a global civilization. “A new life,” Baha’u’llah declared, “is, in this age, stirring within all the peoples of the earth.”

PAGE 11 Statement of beliefs: We are confessionally Lutheran and we are progressive. We cherish the Reformation witness that we are justified by grace through faith alone, and we appreciate the ancient traditions of the church. But we are not locked in the past. Christ’s church is always in the process of re-formation. We are a people interested and committed to growing deeper in our faith. The world is changing quickly but we are not afraid. Time and time again, in the Bible, God says, “Do not be afraid.” We are energized by the possibilities and opportunities for Christ’s church in the future. Do we have all the answers to the questions about tomorrow’s church? No, but we celebrate questions and exploration.

If you are looking for a church home where questions are expected and encouraged, St. Peter’s may be the place for you.

Youth groups, small groups, other ministries: Youth Groups, Mission Trips, Bible Study, Community Outreach, Music, Prayer, and Family Ministries.

the international Shrine of Divine Mercy in Poland) Divine Mercy Catholic Church was formed in June 2002, as three Catholic communities became one by the providence of God. The Catholic faith in our community dates back to 1847, when the first Holy Mass was celebrated at the home of Alexander Faribault. On August 2, 2009, we dedicated our new Church, built to be your new Church home! Not Catholic?

Not a problem, we welcome everyone.

Statement of beliefs: Divine Mercy Catholic Church is a community of disciples of Jesus Christ committed to loving God and others. Our motto is “Jesus, I trust in you!”

When you visit us you can expect an authentically Catholic parish community, a warm and open environment where you and your family will feel welcomed and at home.

You’ll experience community and a relevant message about God and his amazing plan for our lives. Divine Mercy is “a place of conversion and repentance; a place for the celebration of the Eucharist; a fountain of mercy; a place of prayer and of constant appeals for mercy for ourselves and for the whole world.”- St. John Paul II (When dedicating
