September Activities 2025
September, a beautiful, if sometimes unpredictable, blend of summer with the first hints of fall. The excitement of back-to-school. A time for new routines and strengthening our positive habits. This is a perfect time to join with others in spiritual pursuits, such as devotional gatherings, study circles, youth groups, and children’s classes. Not all of these activities are on the PortlandBahai.org calendar; we warmly invite you to contact us for more information.
Selected activities: See more on the Activities calendar. The Portland, Beaverton, and Vancouver Bahá'í Centers each host weekly in-person devotional gatherings on Sunday, and there are virtual and in-person gatherings throughout the week. You are warmly invited to all these public activities!
