Dear Friends,
Warmest greetings from the Regional Bahá’í Council of the South Central States!
In light of the guidance from the National Spiritual Assembly regarding the Nine Year Plan, we are thrilled to announce a series of regional conferences in the South Central region. The theme of the conferences is Love Ablaze: Building Vibrant Communities. These gatherings aim to inspire and engage friends and collaborators as we continue the process of community building.
Each conference will bring together believers and their friends to explore ways to strengthen the framework for action, broaden participation, and support the betterment of neighborhoods and communities across our region. We encourage you, dear friends, to consider inviting not only those already connected to the society building efforts but also those who may be new to this vital work. Your participation and enthusiasm are essential to the success of these conferences!
Below are the locations and dates of the conferences, which will begin at 9:00 am and end at 5:00 pm Doors will open at 8:00 am for registration and a light breakfast. Lunch will be provided onsite.
