You Have a Role to Play
“For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.” (1 Corinthians 12:14-15). This first letter to the Corinthians is an admonishment for all of us to play our part in the body of Christ. Each of us has a specific role in the church, the body of Christ. God has given all of us gifts and must be stirred up to enhance the growth and development of the Body of Christ. We need the hands to work, the eyes to work, the ears to work, the legs to work, etc., and we must accept that we all have different abilities and roles to play in the same Body of Christ. It is incumbent upon each family member to avail himself to do something in the church.
You may be wondering what you can do to support the church’s activities, but be assured that we have a lot of things that will need fresher hands or more hands. We are currently advertising for a volunteer to be our children’s champion; you can also volunteer to become a sides person, a reader and a leader for the Boys’ Brigade and Girls’ Association. Please be assured that you will never be alone because we are all here to support and learn from each other. Feel free to sign up if you would like to volunteer in any capacity.
It will be an honour and a privilege to have you join the team, ensuring the development of every facet of the church’s life. God wants us to stay together as one unit and avail ourselves of doing things in the church. May God help us do our part for the glory of His Holy Name.
