MISSION
Guru Nanak Gurdwara is to serve as a center of seva, discipline, and moral values - uniting the local Sikh community in a Gurdwara rooted in spiritual growth, education, and collective progress, free from politics and financial targets.
LANGAR
WHAT IS LANGAR?
Langar is a Sikh tradition orchestrated in 1481 and has been in effect for over 500 years. It is free food that provided for all which has been supplied, prepared, and served through volunteers. This was established for numerous reasons, but most notably to provide human necessities free of charge, and to reaffirm equality of all people irrespective of class, age, gender, race, religion, creed or other segregating distinctions.
SERVING HOURS
MONDAY - SUNDAY I 09:00 - 19:45
SEVA
Langar is operated by the sangat. That means there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. The ways in which you can help include, but are not limited to:
-
Food preparation
-
Cooking
-
Cleaning
-
Serving
-
Dish washing
-
Hall setup
We are happy to provide shadowing and coaching for new sevadars and those need a little help finding their feet.
At this current time, we are especially looking for support on Sundays as this is a busy peak-time for us.
To get involved please complete the Seva Form on the Home page. Alternative, you can join our WhatsApp community or speak with a sevadar in-person at the Gurdwara.
