Location
The Baha'is of Naperville participated in this year's DuPage County River Sweep as part of a city-wide effort of 250 volunteers across 7 sites along the DuPage River in Naperville. We were a group of 23 volunteers who helped to clean up the river at Pioneer Park near downtown Naperville. We picked up debris and pulled invasive species. We collected 48 bags of trash. Everyone who participated was given a marigold to take home and plant from the Baha`is of Naperville.
Below is a quote shared with those invited.
"Nature in its essence is the embodiment of My Name, the Maker, the Creator. Its manifestations are diversified by varying causes, and in this diversity there are signs for men of discernment. Nature is God's Will and is its expression in and through the contingent world. It is a dispensation of Providence ordained by the Ordainer, the All-Wise."
~Baha'u'llah
