Someone once compared many large organizations to a football game where there are thousands of spectators on the bleachers who are in desperate need of exercise, while there are a few exhausted athletes on the field in desperate need of rest. This may describe many churches. This is not God's plan nor our desire. We want everyone to be involved so that everyone will grow. Often it is the one serving or sacrificing that receives the greatest blessing.
Some opportunities are physical work while other service meets mental or emotional needs.
Some jobs are for the extravert while others are geared for the introverted. Some serve our members while others focus on our community. There is an abundant opportunity for all to be involved. Our deacons and ministry leaders are aided, helped, encouraged by their families and other members of the body who assist them in their ministry. We want these ministries to involve and include as many people in God's service as possible.
