Every Monday through Friday, my two youngest kids (Dillon and Alyssa) and I load up in the car at 7:15 am and head down the long, dreaded 5 mile road to Cross Bayou Elementary. In-between our yawns, and staring into space we read a devotional by Rick Warren called, Scriptures from The Purpose Driven Life. It was Dillons turn to read, so he opened up to day 17, and this is what he read:
I’m called to belong, not just to believe…
“In Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” Romans 12:5
Question: Does my level of involvement in my church demonstrate that I love and am committed to God’s family?
We ended up having one of the greatest conversations about this. Both my boys help our new church (WatersEdge) with greeting, and taking the offering. My daughter helps out in WaumbaLand (our preschool ministry). They both were so exctited knowing that they were a part of God’s big picture, called the Church.
This Sunday, we will be sharing at WatersEdge how you can get involved in Strategic Service. Statistics are out that the average church has only 10 % of their people involved. Not at WatersEdge! We have a great vision, mission, plan… What will make us different then the average church is the involvement of our people. Something special is happening…be a part of something BIG for God.
