Last Saturday, over 250 candy bags were prepared for the Shaheedi Smagam! Each bag was packed with care by our young Sevadars - a safer and fun alternative to trick-or-treating. On Oct. 31st, come to the Gurdwara Sahib to do Darshan of you Guru, Sangat, and receive your over own candy bag! Wristbands are required to be eligible for a candy bag.

Kirtan classes have started last week! Gurmat Center offers 5 different levels of Kirtan classes. In Level 1, students learn the basics and introductory Shabad compositions. As the levels progress, students learn more advanced and complex compositions. Throughout the school year, Kirtan students get a chance to share their learning with Sangat in Mharaj' Hajoori at Sunday Darbar! Register today on the Gurmat Center website. 

This month's GCY guest speaker was Bibi Japnaam Kaur. Discussion revolved around the importance of authentic Sikh representation in the acting world, especially in works that include Sikh roles. Japnaam Kaur followed this discussion by sharing the Sakhi of Bhagat Prahlad Jee through a poetic lens. The evening ended with a competitive game of handball and pizza dinner. Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us! 

As we embark on the new school year, our Santhia classes have begun! We are extending a warm welcome to each and every student! Before starting anything new it is important that we receive blessings of Guru Jee. To start Level 6 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee Santhia, students went up to darbar and did Ardas.
