Our Sunday services we will be held here at the 4-H Educational Center through the month of September. However, due to schedule conflicts, we will be returning to the Community Center for some services in late September and October. Please check our web site calendar of events page to stay up to date on these service location changes.
Our service today will be followed by a fellowship gathering that will begin immediately after the service. Light refreshments will be served, and everyone is invited to attend.
Our monthly 3-hour meditation service for September will be held on Tuesday, September 5, in the Greenfield barn chapel, beginning at 6:30 pm with Energization Exercises and ending at 9:30 pm.
Our celebration of Janmashtami, the birth of Bhagavan Krishna, will be held at the 4-H Educational Center on Wednesday, September 6, with a service beginning at 6:30 pm and ending at approximately 8:00 pm. Please bring a flower to this service as a symbol of your devotion, and a donation may be given as a symbol of your loyalty to the work of Self Realization Fellowship.
On Saturday, September 9, everyone is invited to attend a work party at Greenfield, beginning at 9:00 am with a brief meditation, followed by work activities. The work party concludes with a light lunch served at 12:30 pm, and both indoor and outdoor tasks are available for all levels of skill and physical ability. Please take advantage of this opportunity for service and fellowship by signing up for the work party if you plan to attend so we can prepare the activities in advance. A sign-up sheet is available on the free literature table, or you can call the Greenfield retreat line at 540-635-5066.
