National Volunteer WeekHappy National Volunteer Week... this past week! The theme this year is Volunteers Make Waves. To quote the national volunteer.ca website, the theme was chosen because, "...It highlights the power, impact and importance of individual and collective volunteer efforts across Canada. Like a wave, volunteering is movement building. Water is in constant motion, always flowing, shifting, and transforming with every powerful wave or quiet ripple. And so is each volunteer’s contribution toward creating impact in our communities. " We could not agree more with this statement. There are countless volunteers across our diocese of islands and inlets that make so much possible in their communities. We lift up their service and gifts and thank them for all that they do. Thank you Everyone! There are a number of ways you are invited to volunteer to support the life and work at St. Columba, ask any person in a leadership role.
