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.
