Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. Different parts of the body need to do their part. That is what it means to mature as a disciple.
All different parts do their work of service.
But that does not always happen. Think about what it takes to make a congregation like Grace work. Worship services have to be planned, they don t just happen. A lot of preparation goes into putting the various parts of a service together, from selecting hymns to printing the bulletins. The same is true for our Sunday School, Mid-Week and Vacation Bible School programs.
