Announcements for 6/4/2017

Our annual monastic-led Seabeck Retreat will be held this year June 9-11, led by Bro. Jitananda and Br. Wolfgang.  The Thursday Inspirational Service on June 8th at 7:30pm will be led by monastics, and will be followed by a tea social and opportunity to greet the monks in the Social Room.

At 6:45pm preceding the service on Thursday June 8th, Br. Wolfgang will conduct a christening for Seattle-area devotee Mira Shields’ son Stephen Becker V (the fifth) who was born Dec 14th 2016.  All are inviting and encouraged to attend the christening and contribute to the devotional atmosphere.

We have some funds available to assist attendees of the Seattle Center of SRF who would like to participate in this year’s Seabeck Retreat but are unable to for financial reasons, by covering up to 50% of the registration cost for the least expensive room.  Those interested may contact the retreat registrar Steven Gary or email srfseabeck@gmail.com to inquire.

We will have our next Day of Service on Saturday, June 17. The day will begin at 9:30 am with a meditation. We will have another meditation at 12:30 pm followed by a delicious vegetarian lunch at 1 pm that will be provided. Then we will finish up projects till 4 pm. You may come for all or any part of the day.  All, including children, are encouraged to attend.

The Usher Committee is in need of three new ushers starting in July.  Ushering is a fun way to  serve and also meet people at the Center.  The commitment is about once month on Thursday nights or Sunday mornings. If you are interested please contact Steven Gary, whose contact information is on the Social Room bulletin board.

On Sunday, June 18 we will celebrate Father’s Day with a potluck. Please bring a vegetarian dish to share.

The subject for today’s service is: “Eliminating the Static of Fear from the Mind Radio”
