Volunteer Leadership: Putting Your Faith into Action!
Helen MacKay, sound technician, Inner City dinner greeter and more!When have you said “yes” and were glad you did? Few things delight the heart of God more than when we respond to the Spirit’s promptings by saying (and living) “yes” in ways which make a positive difference in the world and in our own lives.
First Metropolitan is committed to discerning, nurturing and celebrating the gifts of lay people. We want our volunteers to be engaged in ministry which is:
- meaningful
- manageable
- well-suited to their gifts and temperament and
- life-giving to both volunteers and those who benefit from their participation
In the process, self-awareness grows, faith is deepened, lasting friendships are forged, and the moving of Spirit is acknowledged and celebrated.
“As all Christians are followers of Jesus,
So each Christian is called to ministry…
Gifts are diverse
Ministries take various forms
All are essential to the work of the church.”
(from Faith Talk II – A draft statement of faith from the United Church of Canada)
