Each morning I offer my body, my mind, and any ability that I possess, to be used by Thee, O Infinite Creator, in whatever way Thou dost choose to express Thyself through me. I know that all work is Thy work, and that no task is too difficult or too menial when offered to Thee in loving service.

Dear Jackie,

What an inspiring month September was! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Mount Vernon with Brother Jitananda and Brahmachari Bhaskarananda. Below are some photographs of the event. We are looking forward to offering a new service this month on the second Saturday, and are holding a Remembrance Service for some of our departed friends on October 20. Also, we host a Gita Study every Sunday morning at the Center at 8:30 am. Hope you can join us!

We are very happy to announce the start of a new service. We will hold an in-person 3-
