Make an IMPACT through Sacred Service

 

“I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.” – Rabindranath Tagore“
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” – Mahatma Gandhi
“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” – Muhammad Ali

One of our five spiritual practices is Sacred Service. Offering our Sacred Service is both a way to make a significant contribution to the community that feeds us spiritually and also to engage in a spiritual discipline that awakens us to the greater truth of our own being.

You have gifts to give, talents to share, and new things to learn. CSL Grand Junction needs you to share your service in a positive, loving, and spiritually growing environment. Everyone in our community carries a piece of the vision. Which piece are you carrying?

Make an impact within our community and find belonging and connection. Give of yourself through one or more of our Sacred Service Ministry Teams. These teams help with the tasks necessary to provide for the maintenance and administration of the Center as well as to help with services to the community at large.

It is an honor to find a place of service that fits your spiritual path. Let us support your desire to be involved in Sacred Service. Volunteers are always needed to assist with the many facets of the Center’s operation. Please contact Rev. Anna Scott at revanna@cslgrandjunction.org to practice Sacred Service at CSL Grand Junction, or fill out the form below.
