Passionate Volunteers

I am grateful to God for the army of volunteers I serve with. The people who are willing to give up something in order for someone else to be blessed. Rather than sitting in the service enjoying the worship and the sermon, they are out serving in the children’s ministry, looking after someone else’s child in the service, or in the car park directing traffic, or preparing morning tea. I am thinking of the people who sacrifice their beauty sleep on Sunday morning so that everything is set up and ready before the first service starts. I am thinking of the people who take time off work to serve at church or help someone.

Who are these people? They are men and women who love Jesus and are passionate about the House of God by serving without pay, vigilantly use their god given gifts, to make Sunday mornings the most inspiring and life changing experience for all who come to LifeChurch.

The church I lead would not exist without the hundreds of hours given each month by volunteers who are passionate about God and his church.

Volunteers Appreciation Night

 VOLUNTEERS: They are the greatest asset of any church. They are my heroes. These are the people who throw in their heart and soul to the mission and vision of the church. They sacrificially give their time, energy, money, and talents for the benefit of others. They serve with joy, faithfulness, and commitment. They have a team spirit with a ‘we can do it attitude’. Though having different gifts, our volunteers are of equal value, united around a common purpose. They have an “all for one, one for all” heart.

My wife and I have been so blessed to be part of a great team at LifeChurch. (I know I have said this before in many other posts. The truth is I am biased) We have achieved a lot this year because of their unwavering support and trust.

This coming weekend we are celebrating together. It is still a mystery to them what we are doing or where we are going (I think) but I am so looking forward to it.

If you’ve volunteered at LifeChurch in the past year, then you’re invited! (Seriously, you should receive an invitation in the mail / email by now. If you don’t, and you should, please give Jeanie a call at the Office (09 262 2754), because it probably means we have an old or incorrect address for you.)
We don’t want you miss out. I promise that you will enjoy the night. It is a 7 hour event so make sure the babysitter is organized.
