ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR SUNDAY August 29, 2010

If you are interested in exploring the spiritual benefits of serving at our Center, please let the Greeter know. We do have a need for additional Greeters.

The next three-hour meditation lead by our Kirtan group will be on Sunday September 5th from 6PM to 9:30PM.

There will be a special Janmashtami service commemorating the birth of Krishna on Thursday September 2nd from 7:30-8:45PM. This service is primarily intended for SRF students or other devotees who regularly attend the meetings. However all are welcomed who are well acquainted with the SRF teachings to appreciate the Guru-disciple relationship and can participate in the service with reverence and devotion. Please bring a devotional flower offering and a monetary donation sealed in an envelope symbolizing loyalty and faithfulness to the cause of SRF.

Monastics from Mother Center will be conducting a general weekend retreat at Greenfield in Front Royal, VA on September 10th through the 12th. Please sign the sheet in the foyer if you plan to attend or contact Greenfield directly.

We are happy to announce that Brother Premeshwarananda and Bramachari Gordon will lead our Thursday Evening service on September 9th from 7:30PM to 9:00PM.

To eliminate any confusion to the donation volunteers, if you are making a check donation please make it payable to either “Washington DC Center” (These donations are non-tax deductible and are used for current operating expenses) or to “SRF” an acceptable abbreviation for “Self-Realization Fellowship” (These donations are tax deductible and sent directly to Mother Center). Please do not make checks payable to “SRF-DC Center” as this is confusing. If you want the donation to be used for our building fund just write “DC Building Fund” in the memo. Checks payable to Washington DC Center with “DC Building Fund” in the memo will be used immediately for the new building’s expenses. Checks payable to SRF with “DC Building Fund” in the memo will be sent to Mother Center and deposited in our building Fund for future use.
