Blast from the Past: Rediscovering Connections within Our Larger Community


Hello everyone!

In today's "Blast from the Past" feature, we're exploring more than just a photo from our archives; we're diving into the heart of our larger community. This image captures a group of individuals who represent a specific community within our community. But who are they, and what special group do they belong to?

As we look back, I invite you to scrutinize the photo and see if you recognize any of these faces. Each person here has played a role in shaping a particular segment of our community, contributing to its unique character and activities.

The event captured in the photo also holds significance. Do you recall what this gathering was about? Were you there, and what memories do you have of it? This event and the community it represents have likely been on hiatus, especially with the challenges posed by the pandemic. However, the good news is that this is about to change, and we are gearing up to meet in person once again.

For those of you who are part of this specific group or have been touched by their work, this is a chance to reflect on how they have impacted your life. How has being a part of this community within the community influenced you? Your stories and experiences are invaluable and help paint a broader picture of the diversity and richness of our overall community.

This photo is more than just a memory; it's a reminder of the smaller, interconnected groups that form the fabric of our larger community. It's about the unique contributions, shared experiences, and deep connections that enrich us all.

So, please share your insights, memories, and stories in the comments below. Let’s celebrate the diversity within our community, reminisce about past gatherings, and look forward to reuniting in person soon.

Your stories and memories are what keep our community vibrant and connected. I can't wait to hear about your experiences and the impact this group has had on you.

Looking forward to reconnecting and creating new memories together!

Warm regards,

Edward Viljoen, Senior Minister

What I Love About Being a Volunteer - Mary Ann Granieri

"I’ve always loved using my talents to contribute in some way to my community. It brings me a sense of satisfaction and well-being to help create, nurture, and sustain a healthy spiritual community that in turn supports and sustains so many others, individually as well as those in our local and global communities. Volunteering at the Center has allowed me to meet new people in a way that’s been easy and fun. A spirit of camaraderie easily develops as we collaborate on a common goal. I’ve developed dear friendships with some of the people I’ve met volunteering. It’s also created an opportunity to work with and get to know many of the talented and hard-working staff and ministers who are so dedicated to this Center. My appreciation for CSLSR and for everyone who contributes to it has grown immensely as I’ve glimpsed a bit of what goes on behind the scenes. As I’ve been able to contribute and create by volunteering, I’ve also received much. I feel truly seen, valued, and appreciated....

What I Love About Being a Volunteer - Bette Smith

"I love volunteering at the Center because I get so much in return. I meet new and interesting people and connect with people I haven’t seen in years. I like working behind the scenes so I help Allan Yeager with some parts of the website which is a job I can do from home. I work in the bookstore where I’m surrounded by beautiful items for sale. And I love teaching classes because I have benefited so much from all the classes I’ve taken.  Coming to the Center for over twenty five years has changed my life. I love giving back my beloved Center that has fed me and helped me grow." -Bette Smith
