You're invited to join our Center for Spiritual Living Community Service Team in volunteer service with Habitat for Humanity. We volunteer as a group in the Seattle area one Saturday each month - upcoming dates are below.
Contact me if you'd like to help by joining us for one or more days building homes and community from 8:45am to 4 pm, or would like to serve by providing lunch or cookies for our volunteer team. No experience necessary, just a willing attitude, and volunteers must be at least 15 years old. The location is typically Habitat's High Point site in West Seattle, but volunteers should check with me via email and/or cell phone (206) 245-7006 before showing up to confirm the location, get info and directions, etc.. CSL-Seattle Habitat Dates: Sat Nov 17; Sat Dec 15 Sat Jan 26 Sat Feb 23 Sat Mar 29

Volunteer service at CSL
Welcome to CSL’s Service Station! Do you need some spiritual fuel? Does your heart need a tune up? Or maybe you need a heavenly oil change?
Taking part in a volunteer activity is guaranteed to brighten up and revitalize your life. Today’s highlighted opportunities (among many others): Sanctuary Straightening: Come to the sanctuary a couple hours every other Saturday to straighten up the material we keep in the chairs. Enjoy fellowship and often the added delight of listening to the music rehearsals!
Ushering: Want to know the secret of usher happiness every Sunday? It’s fellowship, blessing and being blessed to welcome our family of congregants. Ushers work one service very other Sunday.
Stop by the “Service Station” Table and talk to a loving “attendant” for more information about these and other chances to feel and be love in action.
Location: Sign up in the Fellowship Hall

Where Can I Park? We have over 350 parking spaces available in two lots. Thank you for respecting our neighbors by parking in these CSL designated lots only.
Our church parking lot has about 100 spaces, some of which are designated for Disabled or Visitor Parking.
If this lot is full, we have another 250 spaces in the National Archives lot that adjoins our facility to the north. Look for the "CSL Parking" signs set up at the entrance off Sand Point Way on Sundays. A pedestrian gate allows easy access between the two lots.
Two notes: - The pedestrian gate to the Archives lot is locked one hour after the last service ends. - The Archives driveway gates now operate electronically for after hours exiting purposes. To exit after hours, drive your car to within 2 feet of the NORTH gate and it will automatically open.
