SF-Marin Food Bank Volunteer Opportunity

Volunteering at the Marin Food Bank is a fun way to connect with others from GGCSL and give back to our greater Marin community. We have a shift coming up on November 12th  from noon to 2 pm.

This commitment is just two hours. Provide Ellen with your choice of date and your name, email and phone number. (The Food Bank requires notification of our team members from Ellen one week before the scheduled service.)

Event Series Taize Service

Taize Service

Our Taize Service brings in the ancient traditions of Taizé–meditation, chanting  and prayer–and combines these with New Thought, contemporary, and Ancient Wisdom teachings and readings.

Leadership Council Meeting

We call our Board of Trustees a Leadership Council, and it may be a perfect place for you to serve. Our Leadership Council is a loving , experienced group of leaders, committed to supporting GGCSL with their time, leadership, and expertise. 
The Leadership Council oversees staffing, policies and procedures, bylaws, income / expenses, and carrying out GGCSL’s Mission. 

Thanksgiving Eve Service

This year, Rev. Mary is going to do a special Thanksgiving Eve service on Wednesday, Nov. 27th at 7:15 pm, instead of her usual Wednesday evening meditation service. This Celebration will be held at on Zoom and will be about an hour in length. Put it on your calendar now and plan to participate.

Although you’ll be at home, you’ll be asked to prepare your space with a few sacred objects.

 These are the things you’ll need to have with you for the service to create a welcoming and to be aware of the gifts you’ve received and what you want to invite into your life in 2025:

a lit candle
a rattle, bell or drum
an object that represents something wonderful you received/experienced this year, and 
an object that represents something you want to invite and welcome into your life during 2025

You’ll place these in front of you where you can see and reach them.
