Jan Davis - Why I am Grateful

I often hear our Center described as “a spiritual community that promotes global transformation through personal transformation.” I know I’ve been personally transformed at the Center through the weekly messages, classes, and mostly through the path of volunteering.

Volunteering has introduced so many wonderful people into my life and given me chances to share my talents. Even more than that, volunteering gives me opportunities to practice the spiritual tools I’ve learned, and so many opportunities to learn about being a better person in relationships.

I am grateful for everything that volunteering has brought into my life, and deeply grateful for the actions of so many other volunteers who create the Center so I can be lifted up each week.

Someone puts out the cones and signs in the parking lot well before I arrive on Sunday morning. Some loving voice answers the phone when I call. Someone cleans up the leaves in the parking lot. Someone takes care of the children. Someone creates the beautiful decorations on the stage. Someone organizes the amazing classes and workshops that are offered. Someone repairs the plumbing when it leaks. Someone creates the recordings of the services. Someone maintains the website. Someone visits when you’re sick. Someone is always praying.

So many loving hands and hearts in action. So many unseen faces. So many expressions of selfless service.

I am grateful.
