Lake Shrine Temple Sunday morning services
(No advance reservations are required)
Lake Shrine Temple offers two identical morning services every Sunday, at 9:00 am and 11:00 am. Each service is one hour in length and held in the main Sanctuary. The format includes a short guided meditation followed by an inspirational message from the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda. There is no Sunday School offered during the 9:00 am service, but the family room with video is open.
The 11:00 am service includes over-flow seating with video in the special events room off the foyer. There is optional outdoor seating with audio, in the courtyard under umbrellas. Sunday School is available during the 11:00 am service and the Family Room is open for parents with infants.
Sunday morning guests may also stay after the 11:00am service and enjoy the meditation gardens and pathways around the lake. Both Temple and Lake levels remain open throughout the afternoon and close at 4:30 pm.
The Temple Bookroom is open immediately after both morning services.
