Dear Friends,
This month marks the Centennial of the inception of Universal Worship! Global services will be offered morning and evening in celebration of May 7, to keep the light of the unity of religious ideals glowing around the world.
Pir Zia Inayat Khan will be the celebrant at the Astana at 9:00 AM ET in Virginia. Learn more on the Inayatiyya website!
The Abode Cheragas, Cherags, and Friends invite you to participate in their evening service, 7:00 PM ET at the Abode via Zoom with password 472313
Would you like to help beautify the Abode this spring and summer?
Our service team is a group of dedicated people helping to tend a facility and land that have been considered sacred since the land’s earliest known stewards, the Mohicans. The Abode’s spiritual and service focus is the basis for offering sacred hospitality to all who cross our threshold.
As we plan for a Spring opening, we are seeking to recruit garden, maintenance, and facilities folks to help us undertake day-to-day care and upkeep and to facilitate upgrades. If you are looking to apply your skills and experience to preserving and rehabilitating something worthwhile, and to belong to a service-oriented team, please see the position descriptions below and connect with us!
