  • Get involved!  Why so often do we as the laity (pew warmers) expect and assume that the pastoral staff and those eager beaver volunteers can do everything?  Jobs in the church are not an issue of accomplishing some task to put an "x" in complete column.  The church's mission is never done....and part of the church's mission is to provide opportunities for the ENTIRE body of Christ to get involved.  So if you are involved...challenge your friends to get involved as well.  If you aren't involved...do something.  At this one church here in Springfield I know of a lady who is unemployed, has all kinds of psychiatric issues, recouperating drug addict and who knows what else she has dealt with in her life....yet she volunteers her time to fold the bulletins and put the inserts inside of them.  Just think if every person that walked through the doors did just one thing!!!!


    QOTD:  Regardless of what you may or may not be doing:  What is one task you wouldn't mind doing for the body of Christ (even if your church doesn't have that ministry)?
