Thank you for your feature on volunteering in the May edition.
It is an old adage but true that you get out of life what you put in.
In the case of giving your time, energy and spirit to something, whether as an individual or collective project the rewards are huge.
Our congregation, Willunga Uniting Church, is in progress with an art exhibition run over three months, entitled Spirit & Place.
This exhibition has been running to coincide with the time of Lent through to Pentecost, Sunday on May 27th.
It is open each Saturday morning with many guests having been through the doors, this time coincides with the local markets.
Last Saturday was a hive of activity as a group called the Gateway group from Morialta Uniting Church came to visit.
This group does road trips and biannual trips away. The Willunga quilters were also gracious hosts to the visitors as they toured the art exhibition.
The working bee folk were also cohabitating. So all it all it was a very busy setting.With other members of the public popping in too.
Have heard many favourable comments about the art works and the messages from the artists on their work.
In my time as a guide at the art exhibition I have had some great conversations with people on the topic of spirit and place and many other things.
I know other guides have also. It has been a rewarding way to connect with many others in the community.
Connecting is what it is all about, with our spirit, place and our neighbours.
