We Remember Loved Ones in April (Shotsuki Hoyo)

JOIN US for our monthly memorial service, Shotsuki Hoyo and our first Sunday Service in April. We join to remember loved ones who passed away in any April over the years. The service allows us to express our gratitude for their continued role in our lives, as we hear the Dharma.

Rev. Hōkai “Smitty” Smith officiates and provides comforting Dharma messages for both youth and adults. Certified MA and Chaplain Noriko Kawai will provide the Japanese Howa.

MA Kaytee Sumida will chair the service, and Ann Ong, organist, will provide musical accompaniment.

If you are not able to join in person, we plan to livestream the service in real time on our YouTube channel page.
