Worship: We are Many Parts, We are All One Body

As we prepare for our upcoming Worship Listening Sessions, we have been focusing on how we worship as a Community.  This week, we are going to pray and read about how we worship as individuals bringing our spiritual gifts to the whole Community.   Members of our Communities shared how they participate and why and what it means to them.  Take a moment and meditate on this passage.  To each is given a manifestation of the spirit for some benefit (1 Cor 12:7).  What an incredible reality that each of us has a way that the Spirit is manifested in us to others in order to bring others to Christ and bring Christ to them.  These are gifts and they are given without regard to persons, stature, money, fame, education or position in life.  They are given at the pleasure of the Holy Spirit that we might serve in the ways He is calling us into service.

Please pray for the success of our upcoming Worship Listening Sessions.
