Announcements for Sunday 02 March 2014
Thanking
all for the Successful Mahashivratri Programme held by both the centres and
all who helped Seva Team Spiritual team
SSE Team and the Children and all the Devotees who participated .
1. Rudram Classes
Rudram
practice has been postponed to Saturday the 8th March due to the Shivratri
program. The classes will continue at East West Centre from 10-12.
pm .All are welcome to attend.
2. This Sunday we will launch our Ceiling on Desires Project linked to the service we will be doing with the Food
Bank. Launch of Ceiling on Desires.
By Nirali Sisodia and Hansa Sisodia
Nirali has
prepared a very informative presentation which she will present together
with Hansaben who will translate into Gujarati.
Nirali has
also co-ordinated with the SSE wing so that the children can participate in
this activity and they will be following a lesson plan on Ceiling on Desires
and they might even have a Ceiling on Desires Tree where children will add
on their desires they are giving up. Roopaben please let us know if
you need any more information or support. I'm sure Nirali could repeat
the presentation she is doing with all the children as well on another
Sunday (tailoring it slightly for them).
Hemantbhai
has provided us with a list of items that are required and collections will
begin from next week until Easter Sunday.
This is a
really wonderful spiritual activity that I hope the whole centre will get
behind.
We will do
a follow-up in a few weeks to share with the centre examples of what people
are giving up to encourage everyone to participate - I'm sure it will be
quite entertaining!
3. Thanking devotees re Flood relief contributions.
Email from
Narendrabhai.
Dear All Sai Ram
The first delivery took place last week on Monday in Bridgewater at a local
church where the salvation army have made a base. It was very much welcomed
by all the local volunteers. We have now closed the collection of further
items, if you still have some items then please could you get these to the
Region 4 hub in Leicester. Rohitbhai will be able to coordinate any
delivery. So a big thank you to you all for participating in this first ever
collection for the UK.
The next step or phase is to gather a list of names from the region who
could volunteer to help in a few weeks with the clear up. Kiranbhai and the
team are in discussion at the moment with the authorities on what would help
the most. Could you please announce in the centre/group for volunteers who
are willing to help. When the details come in we will ask again if they can
actually make it on the dates but the first thought is the willingness to
help. I would appreciate it if you could let Rohitbhai know within the next
week or so.
Have a good rest of the week.
With Love and Light
Narendra
