Today I am tired. Partly because I took my brother in law to the airport at 4:30 am. But also because yesterday was a busy day at Creekside. We had 5 baptisms, a baby dedication and a BBQ. So we had a packed day.
Saturday I learned how to set-up the baptismal. It’s not fun, but it’s worth it. It’s worth it to sweat for the gospel. Celebrating changed lives is worth it. A lot of people serve at Creekside. And Serving is not to make you feel good about yourself. Serving on a ministry team is all about loving others and creating an environment where they might meet Jesus.
Worship teams, Coffee teams, ushers greeters, kids workers, media teams, let’s not ever lose sight of the fact that all that we do it’s worth it. You get up early you make arrangements for your kids and family, and you sacrifice your time and energy, and it’s all worth it, because lives are changing, and more and more lives are going to be transformed because of your willingness. It’s worth it.
Thanks to to everyone who made yesterday happen.
Not to mention that the sacrifice we make to serve our church is nothing in comparison to the sacrifice Jesus made for us. Ahhh… persepective!
Great post, Jas.
