Each one of us is an important part of the Body of Christ, and we each have various gifts, talents, and passions that God has given us for service and ministry together. The Apostle Paul’s words to the Church at Corinth remind us, “You are the Body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of it” (1 Cor. 12:27).
As we turn the page and begin another church year, I want to ask you to pause and prayerfully consider some important questions:
What part of the Body of Christ are you?
How does God want to use you and your gifts as part of the Union Family?
One great way to get plugged in and use some of the gifts God has given you is to serve on one of our Service Teams at Union! Below are some short descriptions of our Service Teams. If you are interested in serving on a Service Team, take a moment to sign-up on the clipboard in the Gathering Space or contact me for more information. I am thankful for each of you and for the many ways we have to serve together as the Body of Christ.
