Blast from the Past: Revisiting a Memorable 2007 Event

 

Hello, cherished community members!

In today’s installment of our "Blast from the Past" series, we're throwing it back to a memorable event from 2007. The details might be a bit hazy, but with a little collective memory, we can bring this picture back to life.

The central clue to unlocking this memory is the presence of lilies on the stage. These beautiful flowers set the scene for what must have been a special occasion. But what exactly was this event celebrating or marking? Was it a seasonal festival, a commemorative gathering, or perhaps a milestone for our community?

Now, let's turn our attention to the people in the photo. They were undoubtedly key players in this event. Do you recognize any of these faces? They could be long-standing members, volunteers, or even special guests with a significant role in the occasion.

And for those who have been part of our community since 2007 or earlier, I have a question: were you there at this event? If so, what memories or feelings does this photo evoke for you? Your personal experiences and recollections are invaluable in piecing together the story of this day.

This blast from the past is more than just a trip down memory lane. It's an opportunity to reconnect with our history, celebrate our journey, and acknowledge the contributions of those who have helped shape our community.

I invite you to share your insights, guesses, and memories in the comments below. Let’s piece together the story of this 2007 event and honor the moments that have brought us together as a community.

Looking forward to your stories and memories!

Warm regards,

Edward Viljoen, Senior Minister

    Easter Sunday 2007? I’m there in pastels so I’m thinking it’s a choir. Sunday.

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
