Volunteer Ministries
God says you have been gifted for ministry to serve other people. Every Christian is a minister. That doesn’t mean every Christian is a pastor, rather minister. Anytime you’re using your talents and gifts to help others you’re ministering. In 2 Timothy 1:9 it tells us that, “He saved us for his holy work.” You are saved to serve. Why did God save you? So you could serve him.
You may be thinking, “How do I know what my ministry is?” You look at your talents, your gifts, and your abilities. You look at how God shaped you. God wants you to use those talents and gifts to help other people. Every time you do that, that’s called ministry: nothing fancy, scary, or supernatural about it. It’s just helping others (taken from daily devotional with Rick Warren). Here are some ways that you can use your talents and gifts to help others - minister.
Caring Ministry:
Our transportation ministry allows our seniors to stay independent and be active and we need drivers. Drive our church bus for church services on Sunday mornings or drive your car to help transport members to doctors appointments and to the grocery. This is a beautiful way to honor our seniors by serving them. Contact Gail Stevens at 454-0034, ext. 105
