In God’s kingdom, no job too big or small

alt For most, opening doors and making phone calls might seem like small ways to serve, says Debbie Walz, but God doesn’t see it that way. Read more about how Debbie stepped out of her comfort zone to serve others and learned a whole lot more about herself in the process.

"Explore the Possibiliites," Ministry Expo 2010

The article below, "Hitting the Send Button," is the first in a series that feature E-Free'ers who serve God and community—in big and small ways—either every day, every week, or at a one-time event. Here, our volunteers share what they do, why they do it, and how even the smallest effort can make a huge difference in someone's life.

Please check back often for more stories about West Shore's volunteers, and to learn more about our upcoming Ministry Expo, "Explore the Possiblilities—the Journey of Serving" on Sunday, September 26, 2010.

Take Me to the River

For Cindy Parker—wife, mother, mentor, small group leader, and family manager—learning how to volunteer is keenly more arduous than the work itself. With so many opportunities to serve at West Shore and beyond, it’s easy to over commit, to avoid committing altogether, or to work in areas where God did not ask and/or lead us to. As Parker shares here, deciding when and where to volunteer involves riding the currents of God’s “roaring river.”

"Hitting the Send Button" and Sharing What's In Our Hearts

Serving at West Shore Church comes easily for Laura Sawyer, a member of the Crossroads fellowship group and all-around encourager. Technically, one might consider Laura as the group’s communications coordinator, but just a few minutes into knowing this funny, friendly lady gives one that sense that she’s just doing what comes naturally. Read Laura's story here.

A Trash Book

After reading two pages of the book, Tired of Trying to Measure Up, West Shore’s Kim Winters tossed it in the trash. Too difficult to read, believe, and follow its advice on changing.

But for some reason – God’s reason – she bought another copy and dragged her soul through its revelations about “shame-based and/or performance-oriented system of coping with life.” Hear what Kim discovered here. Then get yourself a copy – maybe two -- in the church bookstore.

Be sure to check out all the BookSnip reviews by West Shore folks of other books you’ll want to read this summer.
