First Church of Christ

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

Periodically we gather all of our volunteers together to REFUEL, RECHARGE, and REVISIT the mission and the vision of First Church!

This is a very important time for us. It's important for all of us to know WHY we're doing what we're doing… to be ENCOURAGED to keep doing it well for Jesus! And to be THANKED and APPRECIATED! If you serve in ANY capacity @ First Church you are a VITAL part of the team and you are WELCOM at the next Pit Stop! Don't worry--you won't miss it... we'll make BIG DEAL about it the next time it comes around.
