The Prayerful Pause - June 14

Each of us is an integral 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).
 
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 as the clipboard is passed over the next several weeks. You can also contact me for more information if you have any questions.
 
Worship Leader Team- Lead the Call to Worship, offer the Invocation, and read the Opening Scripture during morning worship.
 
Children’s Church Teacher- Teach a Bible lesson to our preschool and elementary-aged children. A lesson plan with fun activities will be provided.
 
Children’s Ministry Assistants- Assist the lead teacher or childcare provider as needed on Sunday in the children's church or the nursery.

I am thankful for each of you and the many ways we can serve together as the Body of Christ!
