Beloved Columbia Center for Spiritual Living (CCSL) Community,
Your committed giving empowers us to continue to build a loving, caring and inclusive community that supports people to transform their lives and live their dreams.
This past year we returned to in-person services every Sunday, grew together in various classes and book studies, and grew a house band that blesses us with the gifts of their talent during our Sunday services. We celebrated our Licensed Practitioners, began offering prayer after Sunday services, and welcomed B. Amon James as a newly Licensed Practitioner. To balance these added expenses, we released our office space in Ellicott City, released some unproductive marketing subscriptions, and reduced expenses by streamlining operations.
Through your generous intentional giving, we will continue to grow and offer even more opportunities in 2025. Here a some of the ways your committed intentional giving will empower the growth of CCSL:
• To upgrade our sound system and keyboard;
• To create and deliver self-paced classes on demand;
• To increase our outreach into the greater surrounding communities:
• To offer more special speakers and workshops;
• To continue to grow and meaningfully engage our online community;
• To absorb the price increases we are experiencing from The Hawthorn Center and the software tools necessary for the successful operations of the business of CCSL.
• To continue to share our abundance with Centers for Spiritual Living and our 501c3 non-profit community partners.
This pledge card provides you with the opportunity to express and commit your 2025 intentional giving gifts.
Thank you for vibrantly engaging in the spiritual practice of conscious intentional giving. I know that YOUR life is blessed beyond measure.
In the service of Love,
Rev. Rafe A. Ellis
Senior Minister and Spiritual Leader
