YOU & YOUR CHURCH

Now as we have many parts in one body,

and all the parts do not have the same

function, in the same way we who are

many are one body in Christ and

individually members of one another.

Romans 12:4-5 CSB

My husband leads our First Impressions ministry at our church and a couple of years ago one of his door greeters told him, "Thank you for letting me serve!" That was a first. We often say thank you to those who serve, but we've never had the one serving say thank you. It blew us away. This man got up early on a Sunday to come to church and stood at the door for an hour welcoming people, yet he took the time to thank us for the opportunity to serve. Wow.

I've served in various ministries for 35 years. It's an incredible blessing. It's also a lot of work. Earlier this month our church had VBS. Four nights of late nights, high energy, and ministering to over 100 kids. It was incredible, but it was also exhausting. Every Sunday my husband and I spend 5-6 hours at church working in different capacities. We leave church wore out and fall into bed for what my husband calls a "fat nap." Yet, it is still a blessing. Serving isn't always easy. It definitely isn't always glamorous. But it is always a blessing.
