Serve

 


Serve

 
“Just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you didit to me.” – Matthew 25:40b
 
Are you ready to serve? To give your gifts and graces in service and leadership for the benefit of others in response to God’s love?When you serve, you find that your reward comes in a sense of personal peace andfulfillment, in the chance to share the life-changing love that you have experienced, and in the opportunity to give withoutexpecting anything in return. You will find persons in this stage serving as teachers in educational settings, as leaders in various small group and specialized support ministries, as lay caring ministers tending to the spiritual and temporal needs of others, and as leaders of the congregation’s organizational life. 
 
If you want to serve and to move further along the road of discipleship:
  1. Look for training opportunities. Not only will you find ideas for your own personal ministry, but you will alsohave the chance to share your ideas with others who are growing. 
  2. Be ready to serve as a mentor. You may be the one to whom others look as an example. Be ready —humbly— to guide others on their journey. 
  3. Represent your faith and your church in the community. The servant will be looking for ways to share the love and grace of Jesus with others inside and outside the church. 

Celebrate the fruits of your service, those lives that are being changed because of the abundant life of Christ being shared through your life!
