Serve one another with whatever gift each of you has
received. 1 Peter 4: 10
As I listened to the Trustees talk about Stewardship Sunday
and thought about my monetary donation to Eastridge Church for 2018, I also
thought about the other ways I can support the church. Many of us volunteer to participate in one of
the many missions of the church, such as serving on the Session, Trustees or
Deacons, helping with funerals, participating in Bible studies, volunteering at
the Gathering Place, and the list goes on.
I was reminded of something I read by the anthropologist,
Margaret Mead, who said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful people
can change the world. Indeed, it is the
only thing that ever has.” It made me
know that all of us have gifts and talents that we can share to serve others in
our church and community, and in doing so, have a great impact on the world, be
it small or large. We all can be of
service.
Prayer: Dear Lord,
help me to take my place as a channel for service to others around me. Let me give joyfully of my time and talents
to insure that your love flows to all individuals I meet. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
