First of all, Happy Mother’s Day! All are welcome to enjoy our brunch on the back patio immediately after the service. Please exit into the hallway, then go out through the French doors to the serving line on the patio. Our fabulous menu includes polenta lasagna and strawberry shortcake. There will be a donation box near the food tables.

We have a sad announcement to share this morning. As some of you already know, long-time devotee and member of our Escondido Center Desiree Morales passed away suddenly last Sunday afternoon, May 4. Desiree had expressed through the years that she would not want a memorial service, but we will have a Celebration of Life, with more information coming at a later date. 

The Bookroom is closed today, due to the brunch.

 Our meditation this evening is from 6 to 9.  

On Thursday we will have a 6-hour meditation from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a break from 11 to 11:30.  

And on Friday, there will be a meditation from 7 to 9 p.m.

 Our monthly Day of Service is next Saturday, May 17, starting at 9 a.m., with a break for meditation at noon, followed by a vegetarian lunch at 12:30. This is a wonderful way to serve, enjoy fellowship with other devotees, and help keep our center beautiful.

 Next Sunday, May 18, the evening meditation will be with kirtan from 6 to 9.

And on Saturday, May 24, there will be a 3-hour meditation with kirtan from 8 to 11 a.m.

 Photos of our Easter brunch are posted on the Center’s website.  A link is on the Home page.

These weekly announcements also are posted on the back bulletin board.     

Our topic today isGod’s Nature in the Mother.
