Hi there,
Sometimes when you're in the thick of it as a church leader, it's not easy to notice the things that bring you joy or encourage you in your ministry. However, God wants us to always rejoice and be thankful.
Would share an experience, interaction, or Bible verse from the past few weeks that encouraged you in your ministry?
I'll share mine. Our church just recently changed the worship schedule. Now we have a perfect time slot in our Sunday to enjoy some fellowship over small treats and coffee. I'm coordinating the fellowship servants and there's been some pushback from some members on this new habit we're building. At the same time, there's some encouragement as well: Past Sunday one of our members agreed to host this week and said something simple like 'someone needs to be there to show the way". It made me so happy that she was joining in creating new culture, and of her own accord! I cherish her words and collaboration.
Now it's your turn - please share your story!
