The focus here is always on worship, social welfare, teaching, learning Sikhi values and connect with supreme lord. With Waheguru’s blessings,  SEWA Gurudwara Sahib has always served as a learning center for everyone. Sangat comes here, does worship, learns, unlearns, tries to understand Sikhi, its virtues and rise higher in their lives. We would appreciate donations made from friends and families to help with different Gurdwara projects. All the donations made to the Gurdwara are solely used for betterment of the community. Please remember that your donations are tax deductible (SEWA is a non-profit organization 501 C(3) EIN number 58-2613647). May Waheguru always shower his blessings upon you and your family.
