It takes people to be the church. Remember the child's hand illustration? Here's the church and here's the steeple, open it up and...Where's the people?? Ok, it doesn't end like that. But my point is, where ARE the people? Do we have to abide by the 80/20 rule? 20 percent of the people typically carry 80 percent of the load? Nope--we don't have to. My challenge is to motivate and equip those in the body to turn that around. Every local church has needs and areas to jump in and get involved. Here's just a few of ours. If any interest you, just go here to contact me and we'll chat!
Imagine if we had 5 people serving in every area. That's where the people would be! We're not there yet, but I'm so excited we're on our way.

PERFECT!! I am so glad you made this list. This is what I've been looking for! So exciting!!! :)
Not sure at what point people can jump in as I know they have begun training, but I think the Celebrate Recovery Team was looking for helpers as well...nice list!
thanks, fogot to add that!
