Hey guys and gals! If you look around at SWCC, you’ll find a lot of people who are serving. There are currently 17 different teams that are working together to make an impact for the Kingdom of God! Seventeen!
These people may serve from 15 minutes a week to as much as 20-30 hrs a week. Serving is definitely an important part of who we are as a church. In Matthew 20:28 Jesus said, “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and give his life as a ransom for many.” Following Jesus means serving people. I’m glad we are a church who provides many opportunities for people to serve and be served.
With that said, can I ask you a question…. Where are you serving in the church? Yes, I understand your work schedule prevents you from being available very much. And yes, I see that you have little ones to tend to. I also understand that some of you have had a rough go at life here lately and you’re just not emotionally or mentally healthy enough to serve. I get it. What about the rest of you though? Sometimes we see so many people doing things that we don’t want to get in the way or we may think that we’re not needed. But if you’ll take time to read 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 you’ll find that you are at this church for a reason….because the body of Christ needs you! Yes you!
I want to encourage those of you who are not currently serving anywhere to find a place on a team where you can contribute to the Kingdom of God. I’m listing all the different teams we have available and a short description of what that team does. I hope one of those teams will jump off the page at you! Just pray for God to show you where you fit the best. and we’d love for you to get plugged in.
