We are pleased to announce that on Saturday, August 16, we have the opportunity to participate as a group in the livestream Janmashtami service that Brother Chidananda will lead from 10:00 am-1:00 pm. This event will be held at the 4-H Educational Center in the Library, our regular lower level meeting room. There will be 30 minutes of kirtan before the start of the meditation, from 9:30-10:00 am, and another 30 minutes of kirtan at the end, at approximately 1:00-1:30 pm. During these periods of kirtan, devotees may come forward with their offerings, as the offertory will not be part of the livestream event. If you do not plan to stay for the full 3 hours, please plan to come to the morning kirtan to make your offerings. After the livestream event starts, devotees will not be able to enter the chapel until a period of chanting. We will not have an evening Janmashtami service as previously announced.
