Watch June 8 Shotsuki Hoyo w/ Rev. Smitty, Yukari Williams (Audio Issues)
Thank you to all who attended our June Shotsuki Hoyo or watched on livestream.
We sincerely apologize for some technical issues that kept the audio silent for at least ten minutes into the service for those who watched on livestream or the recorded video of the livestream. Fortunately, the problem was resolved for the rest of the service.

The video of the service starts here, beginning with the welcome from one of three cochairs, Ayako Enochs, regrettably in silence.
Audio is reinstated starting here, in the reading of the Shotsuki names.
Some of What Was Said before the Audio Was Restored
Welcome Comments
[Aya] "Good morning, friends, and welcome to the June Shotsuki Service when we remember and give thanks to the relatives and friends who passed away during the month of June in all the years before 2025. And even if the name of someone meaningful to you who died this month is not read this morning, it is still a fine opportunity to honor anyone who is no longer physically with us, or whose memory continues to move and influence us. :Today’s service will be chaired by three generations of the Teague-Nabeta-Brown-Enochs family: me, Aya Enochs; my mother, Jaime Brown; and my grandmother, Joyce Teague. :We will begin with Fruit & Floral Offerings by the Dharma School students in the Pre-K to 2nd Grades, accompanied by their teacher(s)."
