LifeKeys
Contact: Bergel Z & Susan G | Email | 360-491-2052
In 2007, long-time St. Mark member Bergel felt called to help people discern personal talents and gifts, and sought out such a program. It was then that LifeKeys was introduced to St. Mark.
Thus far, six workshops have been held and 42 St. Mark members have been trained. Among this great bunch of folks was Christine H who described her experience in the workshop. “LifeKeys acknowledged many ‘gifts’ that I never before termed as a gift. LifeKeys was definitely worthwhile, and I would recommend it to others.”
St. Mark member Betty R also attended a workshop and her comments included: “LifeKeys is worth the time, energy and cost to participate. It was good to be reminded of my strengths. I am using my gifts at St. Mark and therefore, I enjoy what I am doing.”
