Northern Plains Community Development Activities, Facebook: know what is happening in our Region!

 "If a small number of people gather lovingly together, with absolute purity and sanctity, with their hearts free of the world, experiencing the emotions of the Kingdom and the powerful magnetic forces of the Divine, and being at one in their happy fellowship, that gathering will exert its influence over all the earth. The nature of that band of people, the words they speak, the deeds they do, will unleash the bestowals of Heaven, and provide a foretaste of eternal bliss. The hosts of the Company on high will defend them, and the angels of the Abhá Paradise, in continuous succession, will come down to their aid." 

Selections From the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, page 81.

Wyatt Morgano and Paul III taking a fun break.

Painting beautiful special things as reminders to say prayers.







Animators drove for over 1000 miles one way to nurture these wonderful young people!

Northern Plains Regional Baha'i Council members Alan Schulte and Karen Pulkrabec also came.


Wyatt Morgan came to help and see old and new friends. He is much loved here! I know the feeling is mutual.


Much love and appreciation to Cindy and Peter Catches for creating a space to nurture our sacred charge, and the "Herculean effort" Put forth by the friends to make this happen!

O Thou kind Lord! Graciously bestow...

OThou kind Lord!  Graciously bestow a pair of heavenly wings unto each of these fledglings, and give them spiritual power that they may wing their flight through this limitless space and may soar to the heights of the Abhá Kingdom.
O Lord!  Strengthen these fragile seedlings that each one may become a fruitful tree, verdant and flourishing.  Render these souls victorious through the potency of Thy celestial hosts, that they may be able to crush the forces of error and ignorance and to unfurl the standard of fellowship and guidance amidst the people; that they may, even as the reviving breaths of the spring, refresh and quicken the trees of human souls and like unto vernal showers make the meads of that region green and fertile.
Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful; Thou art the Bestower and the All-Loving.     ‘Abdu’l-Bahá
