The Board of Deacons is initiating a new program to develop a database of the skills and gifts of individuals in our congregation. This information will be used to help identify those who can provide help in various situations which could include service to those in need, church positions, and community opportunities.
The Lord has instructed us to serve one another with whatever gifts He has given us. Romans 12:4-8 tells us that like our own body, which has many parts that do not have the same function, our church is also one body of people that do not have the same gift. All parts are needed for a body to stay healthy. The gifts of grace are freely given by God to his people to meet the needs of the church body.
Since we are all called, through this Biblical teaching, to serve; what gifts do you have to offer to other members of this congregation?
On Sunday March 7, 2010 a pamphlet was distributed listing the various skill needs and suggestions as to how they may be used in service to others. Each individual in the church is being asked to complete the pamphlet and return it to the church.
Note the submitted information will not be published, but will only be used by the church leadership when a need arises.
If you didn't receive a copy of the pamphlet, one is available here along with a separate listing of fellowship opportunities within our body.
