Core Activities
Study Circles:
The Baha'i community of Tampa, like Baha'i communities
all around the world, has a number of study circles
going on throughout the city. These study circles
are on different themes such as Reflections on the
Life of the Spirit, Arising to Serve, Teaching Childrens
Classes, and the Twin Manifestations.
Children and Jr. Youth Classes
We currently hold children and jr. youth classes
at the Baha'i Center each Sunday morning following
the Spiritual Gathering. The jr. youth, ages 12-14
also meet every other weekend to study and discuss
the themes of the Jr. Youth training sequence with
an animator (facilitator). They also engage in artistic
and extracurricular activities and small service
initiatives.
Devotional Gatherings
Occasionally Baha'is offer Devotional Gatherings
in their homes. These are gatherings that include
the reading and reciting of prayers. Music and refreshments
often compliment these gatherings. |

Events
The Baha'i community has regular events for the
whole family. Whether you wish to come to the Sunday
morning devotionals we call “Spiritual Gatherings,”
attend the classes that follow, or participate in
study circles that focus on different themes such
as “Reflections on the Life of the Spirit,”
we will do our best to accomodate to your needs.
Below is a list of some of the activities going
on in our community.
Spiritual Gatherings at the
Baha'i Center
Every Sunday from 10 AM until 12 PM
This event is open to everyone and includes a program
of music from talented musicians as well as readings
from the Baha'i writings and other religions. The
program is followed by fellowship and classes for
all ages.
Meeting of the Minds at the
Baha'i Center
The last Saturday of every month, 7:30 PM
This event gives you an opportunity to listen to
a talk on a particular subject usually related to
the Baha'i Faith or to an important issue that will
get everyone talking. A free dinner is also served
at each Meeting of the Minds.
Royal Palm Key Character Development
Classes
Some of the youth and members of the Baha'i community
participate in Character Development classes in
the Royal Palm Key apartment complex. This is where
children from ages 6 to 14 come together to learn
more about the many virtues that are latent within
them. |
