The guest speakers for GCY for the month of April were Ajeet Singh and Ekaager Singh. Recently, these young Singhs attended the annual Montessori Model United Nation Conference in New York. Ajeet Singh & Ekaager Singh presented on the United Nations, their experience with the conference and led the Sangat through an interactive activity! The presentation was followed by a competitive game of 5 second rule. The program ended off with pizza and ice cream sundaes.

This past week, we were visited by our friends across the street from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Gurmat Center Sevadars gave them a tour of different areas of the Gurdwara Sahib. They got a chance to visit Darbar, have Karah parshad and Langar all while learning about the importance of it all! They also got a chance to learn more about Sikhi such as learning about the kakaars. 

On April 23 during Sunday Youth and Family Darbar, our Tuesday/Friday level 4 Nitnem Santhia class had the opportunity to share one of the Nitnem Banis they have received Santhia for, ਤ੍ਵ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਸਵੱਯੇ. What a blessing to be able read Bani in Maharaj Jee’s hajoori. All students received their appreciation certificates during their class! 

On April 16, Bhai Bhupinder Singh Jee spoke at Sunday Youth and Family Darbar. Bhai Sahib shared a beautiful presentation on how Sikhi should be implemented in family life. It was so nice to have Bhai Sahib return to speak at Sunday Darbar. Bhai Sahib has been connected with Gurmat Center for many decades. They did weekly Katha Seva at Sunday Darbar in the early 2000’s, taught Gatka and Sikh Studies, and fulfilled the role of administrator. We cannot wait to have Bhai Sahib join us again! 

You are invited to the 30th annual Awards Ceremony! More details regarding the event will be shared in the coming weeks. We have a fun filled day planned with appetizers, Kirtan, awards, lunch, inflatables, prizes and Gatka. Be sure to mark the date on your calendars! 

We were blessed to have Bhai Harman Singh Jee join us for Sunday Youth & Family Darbar on Sunday, April 9. Bhai Sahib jee did Katha on the importance of receiving Amrit. This was very timely with the Vaiskahi Amrit Sanchar just a week away. Sangat really enjoyed learning from Bhai Sahib and we hope we can have their darshan again soon!

Our second Student Skills Presentation took place on March 12. The Punjabi class Level 2 Thursday classes shared the Muharni, names of Panj Pyaaray, counting in Gurmukhi numbers and much more! It is very amazing seeing the students on their Gumukhi and Gurmat vidhya journey. May Guru Sahib Jee bless them with a lifetime of learning!
