F
lorence Evangelical Church presents its 12th annual Christmas play on Wednesday, Dec. 13, at 7 p.m.,
with a reception to follow. Two children time travel back to King Herod’s court, arriving at the same
time as the Three Wise Men. There, they face a choice between following King Herod or King Jesus.
The play, “Wee Three Kings,” tells the story of Jesus’ birth in a fun, yet meaningful way, with lots of Christmas
carols to sing along with. The church is located at 1318 Rhododendron Drive, one short block west of Highway
101. For more information, call 541-997-5159.
Spirituali-Tea to discuss divine educators Dec. 11
On Monday, Dec. 11, begin-
ning at 6:30 p.m., all are invit-
ed to join a group of people
who enjoy finding the com-
mon grounds in diverse spiri-
tual thoughts and paths.
The group’s purpose is to
trust one’s own path enough to
be open to the value of the
thoughts and paths of others.
The topic for Monday’s
gathering will be “Divine
Educators.”
The Baha’i Teachings state
that throughout history, God
has sent to humanity a series
of divine Educators — known
as Manifestations of God —
whose teachings have provid-
ed the basis for the advance-
ment of civilization.
These manifestations have
included Abraham, Krishna,
Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha,
Jesus and Muhammad.
Baha’u’llah, the latest of
these Messengers, explained
that the religions of the world
come from the same Source
and are in essence successive
chapters of one religion from
God.
“The teachings are the
same. It is the same foundation
and the same temple. Truth is
one, and without division. The
teachings of Jesus are in a con-
centrated form. Men do not
agree to this day as to the
meaning of many of His say-
ings,” the teachings say.
Baha’u’llah has expanded
and fulfilled the teachings, and
has applied them in detail to
the whole world.
Bring your thoughts on the
subject for open discussion.
The gathering will end at 8
p.m. with prayers for the
requests left in the Prayer Pole
in the garden of the Florence
Playhouse and those shared by
the group.
