Community Children's Classes

posted 4 Oct 2010 09:40 by Helen Goharriz

Baha'i Youth in Chester worked on a project this summer to boost the Children's classes in Newtown, Chester.  As a result a second class was established and many people from that community became aware of the benefits of this service offered by our hard working team.
Also there were a number of meetings to inform the Newtown community on different aspects of the Baha'i teachings.

The Garden in the Park

The Chester Baha'is took part in the garden competition this summer in Grosvenor Park.  The garden was bigger this year than last, as we had been allocated an extra area.  The garden has a message about the importance of families in the fabric of society, and an interesting steel sculpture depicting a family stands amongst the plants.  Several of the local Baha'is assisted by other volunteers helped to create the contribution to this event.
We also organised a children's painting group on judging day which was appreciated by children playing there.
