Jesus came to serve others. Following Jesus means that we seek to reflect Jesus. At the end of the day, the church is not a building, a list of programs, or set of services.
The church is the people — the people of God coming together.
As followers of Jesus, serving isn’t just about something we do, it’s about who we are.
How has God made you uniquely YOU? Do you enjoy working with kids? Making delicious meals? Are you a gifted signer or musician? Can you swing a hammer or build things iwth your hands? Do you like welcoming others?
God calls us to serve his body, and there are so many opportunities to serve...
