Ministry

Acts 6:1-4 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Grecian Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit of wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.

Pastors were never meant to do all the work of in the church. We are called to come around them, to help where needed in our individual congregations. When our congregations are healthy, we are able to step out into the community to lift up our neighbors. October is Pastor Appreciation Month. How can you care for your pastor? When we all do our part, the church will thrive and many will come to know Jesus.
