Saturday 10th October
was an eventful day for the Mission's West Midlands branch.
The Centre was buzzing with eager blood donors and nurses from
the National Blood Service. The local volunteers had set up
a 'Coffee Morning' to serve free cups of coffee to the public
passing by, and the young devotees had an opportunity to use
their artistic flair to spread the message of 'Unity in Diversity,
Let's live in Harmony' through 'The Big Draw' event.
It all started with the young devotees' involvement in the 'Recycling
Awareness Art Campaign' earlier in the year, which depicted
the message of changing our inner and outer environment. The
art boards attracted organisers from 'Sure Start' and the 'Priory
Family Centre', who invited the Sant Nirankari Mission to take
part in 'The Big Draw' initiative, which was organised by a
charity called 'The Campaign for Drawing'.
Around 13 devotees met up at the Priory Family Centre based
in Wednesbury and got stuck into the creative activities. Amongst
them was the 'ComeUnity Painting' where 500 local community
members had left their mark on a 10ft canvas. The Mission's
enthusiasts painted a white butterfly, and invited everyone
to put their individual colour painted handprints on it to symbolise
harmony through unity, an inspiration from the Symphony Hall
event held in August. Another picture showed a heart with a
lit candle to symbolise lighting a lamp of love - promoting
the forthcoming festival of lights (Diwali).
The Priory Family Centre thanked the Mission for taking time
out from its busy blood donation event to take part in the 'ComeUnity'
event and expressed a keen interest to visit the Mission's Centre
on a Thursday evening.
