An essential component of our Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Program (JYSEP) is instilling a love of service. Not only are the participants encouraged to undertake acts of service, but also to read the reality of their communities, to assess what the greatest needs are and how to address them.

It’s very much about the process, not just undertaking the act itself. Whilst the young people are guided by their animators (older youth who have completed the JYSEP three-year program) they are encouraged to consult deeply when choosing a project, reflect on the process and outcome and to not be deterred by setbacks.

Our Darlington Junior Youth cohort recently consulted about issues they felt affected their community and felt that Alzheimer’s is something that deeply impacts many families. They feel passionately about doing something to help so, at the end of May, they held a very successful bake sale and raised $340 for Lions Alzheimer’s Foundation.

Held at the Pines on a sunny Friday afternoon there were many happy customers who enjoyed home-baked afternoon tea. Thank you to all who baked, bought and donated to this worthy cause. Please look out for this dedicated group as they will be planning more service activities for the upcoming school holidays.

If you’d like to explore the Baha’i vision of a life of service, we hold regular study circles at homes in Darlington, Glen Forrest, Mahogany Creek and Mundaring. These are welcoming spaces to study and have spiritual conversations with friends from diverse backgrounds. All are welcome. More details on our Facebook page and website.

wORSHIP IN THE STYLE OF TAIZE

On the first Sunday of each month at 6.30pm St Cuthbert’s is lit by candles and we enjoy a time of chant, silence, readings and meditation.

Even though it’s at the end of the weekend and the last thing you want to do is go out again, you could find that it‘s worth the effort. In the dim candle lit church you might find a place for refelection and peace. It’s only 45 minutes out of your day ... give it a try. It’s a bit special.
