Volunteering for the work of the Lord Matthew 6:33 8/25/96

Volunteering for the Work of the Lord Matthew6:33 8-25-96

I do not like work even when someone else does it - Mark Twain
Our attitude about work...do little as possible, unless I get something in return

Labor disgraces no man, but occasionally men disgrace labor. - Ulysses S. Grant
we disgrace work by not acting like it is important

volunteering for the work of the Lord at the Church
  • Harold Smith and the plumbing in the kitchen
  • Linda McMurtery & Carolyn Schaburg communion elements
  • Sunday School teachers
  • Peggee, other gals in the office, all the staff that go the second mile
  • finance people
  • landscape folks...Pat Harris, Dean & Jonnie Wells, Joan Harding, Deb Gilmore
  • many others, unmentioned here
there are a mission excuses for not working at the church

scripture reading
its about money...but it works for time too
do God's thing first, and then the rest will come...it it's important

things we need
prayer group
someone to organize mission trips
someone to organize a ski trip
bill choir ringers
choir singers
special music singers
mowers, trimmers, those who dig
lots of areas that need paint
Sunday school teachers
Sunday school students

why don't they get something done about that?
people are willing but are waiting to be asked
that makes it tough

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
In this life we get nothing save effort - Theodore Roosevelt
Woek is love made visible - Kahlil Gibran

I want to thank you ahead of time for the time and effort that I know you will give to Jesus Christ and his church.
