Ministry is a rather fancy word for “a job to do that serves the mission of the church.”
At Slicer Street we strive to provide our members with opportunities to serve in ministries
and up to God. The operative term in this goal is “reach.” In order to have fullness, we
have to reach for it through effort. So we want every member to have opportunities to
reach toward this fullness in areas that fit their gifting, their age levels, and their interests.
In outreach, we have a television ministry which involves people to record services, to
play videos, and to operate the cameras. We also have the Dorcas group to provide
clothing and various items of need and encouragement in the community. In upreach, we
have need of individuals to serve in our public worship and to teach classes. Reaching in
requires people to participate in fixing meals and setting up and cleaning up from various
activities which allow all members to gather for fellowship and relationship. This would
include Wednesday night meals, Men’s Night, Ladies Night, Potlucks, Area Wide
Worship services, and youth devotionals. These are the formal ministries. What are often
overlooked are the informal ministries: raising children, sending out cards, intercessory
prayer, calls of encouragement, etc.
There’s plenty to do, but if something that you enjoy needs to be started and it fits our
goals, there’s always room for more!
