Awakening Ways Spiritual Community members are involved in various community services:  Volunteers are always welcome!

Hearts & Hands Sacred Team

We are a Sacred Team of Awakening Ways Spiritual Community members that are committed to serving the Divine through Service.

Awakening Ways Hearts & Hands Team members meet once a month (the third Friday of the month). We start with an optional “bag” lunch at noon at the AWSC offices followed by our meeting from 1-2:30 pm.  We also pray for and support each other.

We work closely with AWSC Leaders to provide the following:

  • Organize the Sunday snacks by signing up volunteers to bring food.
  • Each Sunday one of our team is the “Information Person” arriving early to welcome newcomers, show them around, hand out Guest Packets and answer questions they might have.
  • Follow up with those in our Spiritual community who are ill, in the hospital, absent from service for a period of time, experiencing loss or other times of need.
  • Make phone calls, offer food to those who are home-bound, send cards and otherwise extend friendship and support.
  • Refer anyone who asks for prayer work to the Ministers and Practitioners.
