Start Talking!

Start a conversation about volunteering/working for the Lord. What do people really think about serving? What good and bad experiences have they had? What would they really like to do?

If you're not in a leader position, ask such a question to a friend or acquaintance. Or ask it of the leader and the group when you're at a meeting.

The church is God's people together: worshiping together, studying His Word together, caring for each other, and serving together.
