What Will You Put In?

Thursday, July 01 2021

Dear Church Family,

A story is told of a young boy who sat in church and watched as the offering plate was being passed. Wanting to give something, he reached inside his pocket for something to put in. To his dismay, he had nothing inside. As the plate was passed down the row and came to him, he put the plate on the ground and stepped inside. He had nothing monetary to give, but he gave the most important thing he had—himself.

The story of the young boy reminds us that God wants us to give not only our resources but, more importantly, ourselves. Our church needs you. We need you to join us in the mission God has given us. We need you to give financially but we also need you to give yourself. We need you to serve.

During the pandemic, our ministry team strategy has become dormant. Now that we are emerging from the pandemic, we will be forming ministry teams once again. A ministry team is a group of people seeking to accomplish a specific part of our mission. Serving on a ministry team is a great way to use the gifts God has uniquely given you. Ministry team sign ups will begin in August. I want to encourage you to begin praying about where God will have you serve.

"Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them:" Romans 12:6

Next month the offering plate of opportunity will be passed. When it comes to you, what will you put inside?

In Christ,

Pastor Ron Jones
