Month of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving and praise open in your consciousness the way for spiritual growth and supply to come to you. Spirit pushes Itself out into visible manifestation as soon as a channel is opened through which It can flow.
--Paramahansa Yogananda        
Thanksgiving--Thursday, November, 27, 2014
Sunday, November 23rd, 2014
On Sunday the 23rd we will have our Thanksgiving Potluck Social. It will be preceded by a skit presented by our Sunday School children. Everyone is invited to attend and bring a non-meat dish. Bringing a dish is not necessary to attend. These socials are always well attended and loved by our membership. The Sunday School entertainment will make it even more special.
Ushers Meeting
We will have an Ushers Meeting on Sunday November 16th. at 12:00 pm after services.

October 12th. General Meeting Summary

Our General Meeting on October 12th had a member attendance of 22. We discussed three main topics: 

LTPC
The DFW Building Fund Long Term Planning Committee report was given by our Realtor member Khraish Khraish. He reported on our continuing daily efforts in our search for a new DFW temple or property to establish a permanent home for our group. The details of our Temple 2020 Project effort can be found on our web site. Our Building Fund now holds almost $142,000.

SPECIAL SERVICES Time Change Issue
It was discussed if we should have a time change for Special Services that fall on a weekend to be earlier or later. There will be no change for these services. They will remain at 7:00 pm if they fall on Saturday or Sunday evening. During the week, Monday thru Friday, they will stay the same at 8:00 pm

AWAKE
The AWAKE film promotion effort was summarized nicely by our AWAKE coordinator Sara Salih. We had a strong presence in our DFW area which included extensive social media channels. We thank everyone that helped make this a success by passing out flyers and posters and contacting friends. This outreach effort by each community is a major reason why the film is having the great success it is across the country. See AWAKE UPDATE below for more information.
October Charity Outreach Update

Our Annual Charity Outreach lasted the entire month of October and was a wonderful success this year. 285 pounds of food and hygiene items were donated to Good Samaritans of Garland. The items were gratefully received by them as a gift from God in their efforts to help the needy.
AWAKE UPDATE

The three film screenings of AWAKE on Nov 1st. and 2nd. were a well attended success for our DFW area and the expanding awareness of Paramahansa Yogananda to the public. The weekend screenings at the Texas Theater were attended by 600 people. A comprehensive report was made to CounterPoint films and they thanked us for the wonderful grassroots support in the DFW area.

The producers of AWAKE: The Life of Yogananda have arranged for a week long screening in Houston from Friday, November 14th. to Thursday, November, 20th at the Sundance Cinema in downtown Houston. Showtimes will be available about one week prior to November 14th.
