Discover Your THING! |
Serving God is awesome... And serving God in an area that you are gifted for and
passionate about is through the roof awesome! Another way to say that is--it's a great thing to step up to the plate and fill a need in a ministry. But it's a through the roof awesome thing when you discover your THING and begin serving in your MINISTRY NICHE... now we're talking joy and passion that motivates us to be our very best for God. This kind of service changes lives! FIVE STATEMENTS that will help you discover your THING! Ponder these... take notes, pray about... talk to your friends about it--and you will begin to get a sense of who God made you to be! Then contact Pastor Brad. He'll help you connect your THING to a personal mission that will help people fall in love with Jesus! 1. I'm successful at it. Over the years--when you do this thing--it's gone well. 2. I'm instinctive about it. Generally speaking--you feel a fish IN water when you do this... it suits you well and feels very natural to you. 3. I could do this for hours. Time doesn't exist when you do this--you enjoy it, it energizes you and you could do it all day long. 4. I feel "fulfilled" by it. When you do this you don't feel like your "wasting time", you're doing something that you love and that God created you to do. 5. People tell me I'm good at this. When you do this--people complement you on it--they say, "That was great!" or "You're good at that!" . |
"Each person is given something to do that shows who God is: Everyone gets in on
it, everyone benefits." 1 Corinthians 12:10 "The whole body depends on Christ, and all the parts of the body are joined and held together. Each part does its own work to make the whole body grow and be strong with love." Ephesians 4:16 |
We invest a lot into making First Church a safe place for people to learn how much
they matter to God. But we also want to help people discover a sense of mission
and get out side of the building and demonstrate to others how much they
matter to us too! HERE'S HOW "HANDS AND FEET" WORKS: Perhaps being “out front” (teacher, server, greeter, etc) is not your thing, but serving “behind the scenes” is. Great! All of us have different personalities and different gifts and The Hands and Feet Ministry offers a wonderful opportunity to care and connect with church members, neighbors, families, or anyone, for that matter, who could use some help. The Hands and Feet Ministry is all about helping others. Whether it might be helping the church set up for a church dinner, moving a heavy piece of furniture for an elderly lady, or driving a person to a doctor’s appointment, there are always ways to serve. There are so many needs and so few volunteers – you can make a difference. What a great way to help the church, meet other folks, to serve and be a blessing to others! If this ministry fits you, or if you know anyone who might need some help, simply CLICK HERE to email Pastor Brad. Members of The Hands and Feet Ministry team will be notified via email about the details of the work --- who, what, when, where and how they can serve. Obviously, people are busy, so we don't expect one to rearrange his life around this. We just encourage you to serve as you have opportunity. "And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward." (Jesus, Matthew 10:42) |
