Jodoshu North America Buddhist Mission

The 11th Live-Streaming NYE 1-hour Nembutsu Retreat (Joya-Nembutsu-e)

December 8, 2020

Dear Members and Friends;

We hope this letter finds you well. Although most of our religious activities were held remotely, we were able to complete all scheduled regular services for this year. We wish to extend our gratitude to all of you for your participation and support. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, our annual year-end cleanup with volunteers is canceled. However, we ministers/families will make our best effort to clean up and sanitize our temple this yearend.

Please refer to the special services on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Your donation/flowers/offerings/support for these services are greatly appreciated.

In view of the season, please take care. We will continue to keep you updated. Your understanding is most appreciated. We pray with Nembutsu for your health and the safety of our congregation. Namu Amida Butsu
