There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. – I Corinthians 12:4-6
In his sermon this past weekend, Dr. Brooks preached about growing up in Christ. He talked about how, as we know Christ better, each of us does our part in the body of Christ.
I immediately thought about our Thanksgiving dinner for single adults last Friday evening. It was a wonderful evening because of the contributions of a number of people who all did their part. The setup of the tables was done by our great maintenance staff, the table was beautifully set with china and cool napkins folds by our kitchen staff, it was festively decorated thanks to Lois, and Chef Gregg presented an incredible meal. Finally, it was enjoyable because people came. Without any one of these parts, the evening may have been just nice or even terrible.
The work of ministry is great when the body of Christ works together. I am so grateful to each of you who do your part serving in single adults, in the larger body of Tallowood and outside the walls of this place. May we continue to grow up together.
