All are encouraged to attend the 9:30 a.m. service before the Green Fair. By special request, Reverend Sol Kalu will deliver two dharma talks — one for children and one for adults. After the children’s talk, children are excused to the Social Hall for refreshments followed by the all-ages Green Fair.
