Every season of service teaches us something. Sometimes, it’s something we didn’t expect.

In this week’s "Confessions After a Year of Service", a former volunteer reflects on a lesson they learned along the way.

Because service isn’t just about what we give. It’s also about how we grow, what we learn, and how we carry those experiences with us.

💬 What is one lesson your year of service taught you?
