Controlling Your Destiny
With the beginning of the New Year, let us with concentrated resolve and spiritual determination enter into a new era of our lives. Please pray with me: "We are entering a better life, O Father, through the portals of the New Year. May it be a year of greatest communion with Thee, the Giver of all gifts. Be Thou the only King sitting on the throne of all our desires, directing our lives through our intelligence. In the past year desires often led us astray. Bless us that henceforth all our aspirations be in consonance and harmony with Thy will. Bless us that every day be a new awakening in Thy consciousness, physically, mentally, morally, and spiritually. We thank Thee, O Father, and the Great Ones who are all blessing us and coaxing us to Thy kingdom. Aum. Aum. Amen."
This is my New Year's wish for you: that you all reach the land beyond your dreams, where there is peace and joy eternal. May you realize the fulfillment of whatever strong good wish you release in the ether.

Make Me Clean Again, Divine Mother
Thou didst dress me in raiment immaculate, and sent me out to play. I wandered away and frolicked among the fruitless trees of delusion. The shadows of the forest of suffering enveloped me.
I went out spotless; now I am besmirched with the mud of ignorance, O Divine Mother, wash me in waters of Thy wisdom! Make me clean again!

Beginning January-- 10:00 am Meditation Service 11:00 am Readings Service No Sunday School
Dear Friends,
We are returning the 11:00 am Readings Service to our Sunday's schedule beginning January 2nd, 2022.
The 10:00 am Meditation Service will end at 10:50 am.
Our online calendar will reflect our new service schedule .
Following are the details of how we conduct services under the Covid conditions:
Consistent with other groups and temples, we will offer a separate area for socially distanced seating for those who need or prefer it. As with SRF Temples and groups, we will continue to follow CDC guidelines by making masks optional for those who have been vaccinated, and asking those who have not been vaccinated to wear a mask. We respectfully request your cooperation in adhering to these guidelines for the safety of others.
We will not pass donation baskets but will place the baskets outside of the Chapel area. For safety we ask for adherence to social distance in the lines to the restrooms.
We very much look forward to seeing all of you who are able to attend now or in the near future.
In Divine Friendship,
Dallas Fort Worth Managing Council of Self-Realization Fellowship

Dallas Ft. Worth Building Fund
We are pleased to report the Dallas Ft. Worth Building Fund total as of November 30th is $562,501.
The building fund exists for the purpose of allowing our group to have a permanent Chapel when the time is right. 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.
