What are you capable of doing to serve the ministry. Take your cue from the Bible’s New Testament Book of Acts. We see the original eleven disciples (minus Judas Iscariot), continued the early WAY ministry. Saint Paul, the apostle reported that 3,000 were added daily to the converts. How was this done? Can it be done at Bethany? We know that one man with his colleagues, Saint Paul preached to seven churches he established in most of Asia Minor.
Think about becoming an Elder, Samuelite, Acolyte, Usher, Greeter, member teacher, grounds-keeper for church & school, gardener, utility serviceman, janitorial helper and frequent contributor to the articles found monthly in the Breezes magazine.
Again, some of you visit elderly members of our church or help to bring someone to Bible study and church service. How tenderly appreciated that is to the provider.
Are you financially able to help contribute in the flowers selection or the coffee hour? Would you enjoy meeting and sharing information with the monthly Seniors Luncheon? Have you thought about the great work you can embrace with the LWML (Lutheran Women’s Mission League)?
Can you meet with one of our teachers, and be a reader for the young students Bible study at the elementary school. If so, see Dr. Chris Smith, Principal and Elder. Any of the current administrators would love to talk with you about the needs within the classroom. Teachers are great about sharing this option if you have a desire and talent for working with children.
Today, we must address these elements of service work:
- Do it for God
- Do it for yourself (random acts of kindness)
- Know your fellow worshippers and greet them
- Give generously from love—your heart will be repaid
- Jesus taught us: IT IS BETTER TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE
