Something to Consider

As Christ-followers we want to grow in our relationship with Jesus. We believe that in order to grow we must attend church, listen to a sermon, and walk away with life application bullet points that we attempt to implement throughout the week. Then we return 7 days later to repeat the process. This is all good.

Many of us add elements to enhance our spiritual growth. ( Bible study or life group, accountability group, prayer group, etc.) These are the things we do or actions we take in order to instigate spiritual growth in our lives. Of course, this is also very good.

Volunteering (a.k.a. serving) is something we view entirely different. Much like tithing, we view serving as our contribution. Something we give back.

The truth is… volunteering is another method by which we grow spiritually. (As is tithing.) Find a ministry that makes your heart race and you’ll find something that stretches you spiritually more than anything else you could attempt as a Christ-follower. Some of you have hidden talents and hobbies that would be a wonderful addition to Creek Kids. Some of you may have always wanted to play with puppets or dress up as a wacky character but have never had the opportunity. I'd like to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus by plugging you into children's ministry. I promise it's the funnest way to grow! Just something for you to consider.
