Dear Seraphim Center Family, Friends and Ministers,
When we join our hearts together in
service, our power expands exponentially -- please take a moment to let us share how you
can join in the creation of a new place of healing and spiritual awakening beautifully
situated to be in communion with Mother Nature.
Vision The Seraphim Center Eco-Sanctuary will house a chapel for larger gatherings, classrooms for small group
enrichment, as well as private spaces for intuitive counseling and empathic, spiritual
services. Our Eco-Sanctuary will also include our popular Non-Profit Seraphim
Gallery & Bookstore - all nestled on 15 acres of Florida wilderness near the ancient
banks of Paynes Prairie in SW Gainesville. There will also be nature walks, herb gardens
and meditation areas designed to enjoy the beauty of nature without harm to the ecosystem
and creatures with whom we share this corner of Eden.
Treasures As an inter-faith spiritual congregation, the Seraphim Center welcomes the whole community, offering ongoing ministerial training, classes for personal development and support for one’s spiritual transformation and awakening. Please take a moment to reflect and ask yourself:
• How
many lives could be transformed as a result of the many spiritual resources offered by the
Seraphim Center?
• Could I
or others benefit from the fellowship, classes and interfaith spiritual services at the
Seraphim Center?
• Could
Seraphim Center open doors to further spiritual growth for myself, as well as others?
If you answered
“yes” to any of these questions, consider this a perfect opportunity to give
back. We ask you to reflect on the gifts you may have already received as well as the
potential treasures available to you and others through your relationship with the
Seraphim Center.
"By
freely sharing of ourselves through service and giving, we strengthen our spirituality and
foster abundance. By bringing our unique gifts to Seraphim Center and to each other, these
blessings shall return to us many times over." – Vision Committee
Request Together we can manifest this beautiful vision. Can you imagine
sitting in a Chapel filled with natural light, encircled by the lush green of the nature's
southern savannah, and surrounded by your loving Seraphim family and friends? We are very close to success - In order to begin
actual construction of our new Eco-Sanctuary, we need $200,000 to pay off the land
mortgage - this will allow us to obtain construction financing and get the
necessary permits to start building by January 1st, 2005.
We ask for your participation in the “Giving Campaign” at the most generous level you can afford.
