Next Saturday, December 14, we will have our All-Day Christmas Meditation, from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm, here at the 4-H Educational Center. Please bring a fruit as a devotional offering, and a donation in a white envelope may be offered. Please make note of the following points:

  • Please be sure to come early, and be prepared to stay at least until the intermission. No one will be permitted to enter the chapel once the meditation has begun. Arriving early will also give you time to become comfortably settled and calm before the meditation begins.
  • You may bring a meditation armrest, if you wish to practice the Aum Meditation Technique during the meditation.
  • If you have a cough or cold, please meditate at home, rather than attend the all-day service. Paramahansa Yogananda insisted on scrupulous observance of this practice when he conducted the Christmas meditation.

For additional guidance on preparing for this service, please see the informational sheet Instructions for Devotees, available on the free literature table.

Next Sunday, December 15, a fellowship gathering will be held immediately after the service. Light refreshments will be served, and everyone is welcome to attend.
