A Warm and Loving Sai Ram Dear Members,
Hope all of you had a divine week!
Last Sunday, we had a lovely Winter Blanket Seva at the center where members (Sisters & Brothers) participated in making 100 bags that will be distributed to the needy in the coming weekend(s) at Shelters and DC parks. We thank our dear Swami for giving us all this opportunity to do seva.
This Sunday Dec 17th, we will have Christmas Celebrations at Claude Moore where our SSSE Kids will be offering Christmas Carols to our Dear Swami and later in the day at Gardens Assisted Living Center, Fairfax. (see below in Devotional and SSSE sections for more details). We look forward to seeing all of you there.
See below for important details.
Please find this week's Centre Newsletter and updates from all wings (Devotion, SSSE, Seva & YA) along with Center Calendar for December 2023 and Zonal/National and Regional updates.
