Activating Service

September is all about service at CelebrationCenter.  We have been conditioned to believe that we build a happy life by GETTING things from the world.  We are told to get the right education, find someone to love, get a good job, buy the right house and drive the right car.  And yet, with all of our getting, many people still complain their lives lack meaning and depth.  That’s because we’re not here to GET something good from the world.  We’re here to GIVE something good to it.

Everyone has something of value to give the world that can improve the quality of life for us all.  In truth, each of us is here to serve the Greater Good.  Join us this month as we expand our understanding of service.

“When our models of who we are fall away, we are free simply to meet and be together.  And when this sense of being encompasses all---separateness dissolves and we are united in compassion.”

How Can I Help

“Notice whenever your best efforts seem to go nowhere.  There’s a better than even chance that you’re moving against the will of God and the order of the universe if everything relative to the service you want to get into is extremely difficult and aggravating.”
