Make it Look Good, Feel Good, and like home! Thank you.

 



There is always a good time to say thank you to the volunteers who make our facility look and feel spiritual, welcoming, and beautiful. Today feels like a good day to do exactly that.

Walk through our grounds and you will see their work everywhere. The gardens are tended with care. The sanctuary is prepared before every service. Small repairs are noticed and handled long before most of us would think to ask. This kind of attention takes time, patience, and a genuine love for this community.

Our facility volunteers give their skills and their Saturdays, their early mornings, and sometimes their evenings, so that everyone who walks through our doors feels the warmth of a space held with intention. Sacred space does not happen by accident. It is built and maintained, week after week, by people who care enough to show up.

This community holds appreciation for every volunteer who has planted, painted, repaired, cleaned, or cared for our building and grounds. Their work shapes the first impression every visitor receives and the lasting impression every member carries.

An Invitation

If you find meaning in working with your hands, in gardens, in small repairs, or in caring for shared space, this ministry may be a good fit. No particular skill is required, only a willingness to help.

Reach out to info@cslsr.org if you have interest in volunteering with facility and grounds care. A member of our team will follow up with details on current needs and how you can get involved.

Thank you to everyone who has given time and care to this sacred space. This community is stronger and more beautiful because of you.

We're Passing the Baton, is it to you?

We have mentioned before that we are intending to gradually scale back on bookstore duties and eventually step down completely.  We are actively seeking people to help in the following areas: advertising, computer skills (Excel, Word), social media, graphic art (creative signage), special events, deep cleaning and the BIG ONE...retail management and retail buying skills.  Passing the baton Yes, we wish to pass on the management of the store to new volunteers, preferably a manager and assistant manager (or perhaps a management team).  In this store's management, the most important and time-consuming tasks are ordering product, input of product and managing the product.  We would train and continue to advise (if necessary) to ensure a smooth transition of leadership in the two basic areas of gift items and books. For a while, we wish to retain the decorating portion of managing the store. Managing the store is a HUGE responsibility, but the rewards are ten...
