Featured Volunteer David Reichard


David is a tech genius and a warm presence who loves everything IT and CSLSR. He has been lucky to do work he loves in the world, installing and maintaining computers, computer networks, Wi-Fi, security systems, etc. And he has found a critical niche at the Center using those skills to help the Center share its message with the world.

David has a big heart and cares deeply that everyone attending the services feels welcome and appreciated. He helped establish the Welcoming Team—now the Virtual Welcoming Team—and continues to assist with its evolution. David says he is actually a shy introvert but greeting everyone in the Social Hall that looked lonely, new, or just ready to chat expanded his inner extrovert so that now he greets people easily wherever he goes, not just at the Center.

Pre-pandemic, he worked behind the scenes doing tech support during Sunday Services but he shifted immediately when our services went virtual. From day one of our virtual services, David and the Virtual Welcoming Team worked “behind the curtain” on Zoom greeting attendees, posting welcoming chat messages, and helping them find the resources mentioned during the service. Beyond Sundays, David monitors all platforms where the services are broadcast–Zoom, Facebook, and more. He tracks all the details, alerting the rest of the team to changed conditions when needed.

David is currently taking Beyond Limits (again) and facilitating a Circle for Spiritual Connection.
