"This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you."

(John 15:12-16)       
The Second Coming of Christ
Discourse 71         
Paramahansa Yogananda
Good Friday Service

Good Friday service will be held from 6-9 pm on Friday April 14th.

The spiritual reading prior to meditation for each hour is a progressive reading extracted from the chapter: Discourse 71, of The Second Coming of Christ, which conveys Jesus’ darshan to his disciples at the Last Supper, the night just prior to his crucifixion. 

Readings by hour:

1st Hour: “I am the true vine and my Father is the husbandman."

2nd Hour: “If you abide in me and my words abide in you ……."

3rd Hour: “This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you."

Please try to attend all three hours as this will maximize the impact of the spiritual message.

Children's Play--April 30

Our Sunday School children will present a play on April 30 at 12:00 pm. The children have been rehearsing for many weeks and are excited to present this play based on one of Master's stories, Two Frogs in Trouble. 

You are sure to enjoy this and your attendance will be much appreciated.
Altar Update

Our new altar is in the process of being painted as is our altar base. We appreciate your patience while these changes are in process. We will be getting new lighting which will make a considerable difference in highlighting the pictures and altar.

The old altar is also getting a face lift after it's 20+ years of use in our chapel. The children will be the beneficiary's of the old altar and it will be moved into India Hall for the Sunday School.

We thank you for your support of this project by coming to meetings for approval of different aspects and by approval of the costs. The altar plans from an idea to fabrication have taken 17 months so far. The outpouring of your financial support has been wonderfully devotional. Center Department was consulted for several aspects as we moved forward and gave the final approval for us to build the altar after seeing our final proposed drawings.

We are very close to finalization. This will be well worth the wait!
