Volunteer Community at the Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa

On the first Sunday of the month a volunteer group is recognized. This a a valuable acknowledgment of our important volunteers. It is a great way for members to learn about the various ways volunteers contribute to a healthy, vibrant center. We have our wonderful trustee, Vicki Dodson to thank for this idea, and with the help of her great team, Adrianne Bowes, Maxine Wilkinson, Jan Peterson, and the volunteers themselves, for turning this idea into a reality. Trustees Iris Maitland, President Adrianne Bowes and Maxine Wilkinson can usually be found in the social hall between services. They are happy to chat with you about their role as a CSLSR Board Trustee.

Thank you, Lawrence and the past and future trustees for guiding our  Center and volunteering your time and expertise.  Are you interested in becoming a trustee?   Contact us at info@cslsr.org

The Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa (CSLSR) Jail Ministry is a team of dedicated volunteers who visit individuals incarcerated at the Sonoma County Main Adult Detention Facility (MADF) where approximately 700 people await trial or retrial. Many are confined to their cell 23 hours a day, sometimes for years. Each week, we visit those who request connection, offering compassionate presence and spiritual support. Through providing one-on-one and group visits, classes, inspirational books, and copies of Science of Mind Magazine, we help individuals reconnect with their inner divinity and wholeness.  Voices from Inside: “Your visit changed everything for me.” “You give us strength and calm.

I am in awe and appreciation for those who have gathered and found a way to preserve the teachings of Ernest Holmes in such a special place that I found Unity Village to be. At the celebration dinner, it was interesting to hear the presentations of those who spoke not only of the early days of Ernest Holmes but also of the Science of Mind magazine. Many of us no doubt remember our first introduction to Science of Mind, as I certainly do. For me, it was the Science of Mind magazine through which I then found the church. At the archive,s it was fun to be able to read and photograph the page from the Science of Mind magazine on the day I was born. How easy it is to take what we have for granted, and as I reflect with appreciation for the teaching and the preservation of the archives, I ask myself what am I doi...
