Endurance
"You need not drown in the river of life when you encounter the strong storms of trials. Learn to be an expert boatman and you can row across this tumultuous river to the safe shores of God. 'He that endureth to the end shall be saved' (Matthew 10:22). As you work and plan, remember that it is God who is working through you. Your mind should be charged with joy and detached from all unpleasant experiences. Be active, but not constantly active; relax completely when not active. Strengthen your will power so that you will not be controlled by circumstances but will control them. Develop your will power by striving to do things that you thought you could not do. Work for others. Thus will you develop endurance and strength."

The Fireworks Graphic Is Still Appropriate!
In the January eNewsletter we told you that we had surpassed our 2020 building fund goal of $450,000. It gets better. The donations received in December were $46,241. And our new account total, as of the middle of January is $496,010.
The interest for our group building fund is at an all time high and our momentum to have a new facility is strong. A special *Thank You* is being sent to all who have helped us with donations.
The building fund exists for the purpose of allowing our group to have a permanent Chapel when the time is right. We now have the task of selecting a new amount for a future goal. We realize that it will take more than our current building fund to obtain a new permanent Chapel. We would like to encourage those who can contribute, comfortably, to our building fund to do so. A donation of any amount will be gratefully accepted.
Our building fund is held in an account for us by Self-Realization Fellowship. Gifts to this fund are tax exempt.
Thank you all for your continued generosity and sponsorship of the Dallas Fort Worth Group’s Chapel Project.

Weekly Local Group Participation Events Encouraging Our Members to Stay Involved At This Time
During this unusual time of necessary social distancing, we want to ensure we are reaching all of the Dallas Fort Worth Self-Realization Fellowship devotees to make you aware of, and encourage you, to make use of the methods of fellowship that we do have available. Master considered divine friendship among devotees and friends very important, and we want to engender as much of a sense of support and fellowship as we are able during these times.
With the goal of maintaining divine fellowship while our Chapel remains closed, our group now has informal Zoom Fellowship meetings most Sundays at 11am. We try to have one special meeting a month more organized with a theme. The meetings are well attended and have a focus on compassionate harmony among the participants, uplifting stories, or short readings from Self-Realization Fellowship publications, as well as offering support to those in need. If you would like to be included in these Zoom meetings please email to: connect@srfdallasfortworth.org
We also have Zoom meetings with Kirtan on Thursdays 8-9pm. If you would like to be included in these Zoom meetings, please email to: connect@srfdallasfortworth.org
You will be emailed a link to join us with Zoom.
And we have one more opportunity if you would like to join us. We have an informal WhatsApp group started by members of our Managing Council for our DFW-SRF Meditation Group. To join, please install WhatsApp on your device, and use the link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/ItsAFW1n7DZ1TIVe6GCFhJ. We hope you will join us in this fellowship. |

DFW Chapel Services Update Currently All Of Our Services Are Cancelled Because of Covid-19
We continue to monitor updates and news from both local and SRF sources regarding the opening of our DFW Chapel for services. We are configuring the chapel and India hall for social distancing and going over health and safety procedures for the time when we will be able to meet there again.
As you are aware, the recommendation to adhere to social distancing guidelines remains for the purpose of maintaining safety for ourselves and others. We take your safety very seriously and know that the small size of our Chapel poses distinct challenges regarding adherence to social distance guidelines. We very much look forward to the time when our services can resume and at that time we will send out notifications and updates.
