How Should I Serve?”
Well, it’s here. The opening of our new building is literally staring us in the face and all of the last minute details are falling into place…sort of. I know it will all be amazing come November 14 because God will help us all, but some days it’s a little scary.
It’s a big step…moving into our own building with a book store, cafe, meeting rooms, computers, and all the things that help us minister to each other and to the community. The one resource that we always need more of is people. People are the heart of the church and people make things happen. Sometimes folks find it hard to decide where they should serve. They aren’t sure where their talents are or they wonder if the church really needs what they have to offer. Let me help you out there…”Yes”, we need you. “Yes”, God needs you.
Everyone has something they can do that will somehow benefit our church family. Sure, there are those people with gifts that are very visible; they can sing, build things, fix computers, or build websites. But what about those of us with less visible gifts? I know someone who’s very special gift is listening. That’s right…listening. I have a friend that can listen…truly listen…to anyone, talk about anything. They will listen and not comment or judge. They will listen and only offer input if it’s asked for and they listen with an empathetic heart. What a gift! An amazing gift from God that nobody would know is there unless they call on my friend to listen to their story.
So, if you’re wondering…”Where can I serve?”…don’t worry. We need you…just ask God to guide you and you’ll find a place that fits you just right…a place where your spirit will make a difference in ways that you never imagined.
