Giving as a Spiritual Practice
Our Annual Pledge Program provides you an opportunity to practice our Core Value of GRATITUDE by giving in a way that benefits you and our entire community.
Through the spiritual practice of giving, you:
* open the tap of your own receiving,
* empower the Board of Trustees to budget for 2026,
* empower Rev. Rafe to plan new programs that will better you and grow our Center
“The act of giving produces just as much joy as the act of receiving, because both add to the richness of existence. When we give much we bring forth much from the depths of divine being, and what we bring forth becomes a permanent part of actual life. When we give much we add to life from the within; when we receive much we add to life from the without; and when the richness of the within is harmoniously blended with the richness of the without, then real living begins. But the two must be equal. When we give more than we receive, or receive more than we give, discord follows, and herein we find the cause of many troubles and ills.”
Christian Larson, The Pathway of Roses, p. 48
