To all believers in the United Kingdom
Dearly loved Friends,
In a message dated 25 April 2016, the Universal House of Justice announced the passing of “distinguished maidservant of Bahá’u’lláh” Joy Stevenson, a former Counsellor member of the International Teaching Centre, and called for “commemorative gatherings to be convened in her honour in … Bahá’í communities everywhere”.
One such gathering is being organised at the National Ḥaẓíratu’l-Quds – 27 Rutland Gate, London, SW7 1PD – on Sunday, 11 September 2016, with arrivals from 2:30pm for a prompt 3pm start.
All believers, their families and friends are warmly invited to attend this occasion to remember Joy’s life of outstanding, dedicated service to the Cause of God and to pray for the progress of her kindly and loving soul. The occasion will focus on joyfully celebrating her life, including stories from those who knew her, music and prayers.
With loving Bahá’í greetings,
Patrick O’Mara,
Secretary
