Pastor Scott's Message One of the things I've learned about church is that there is a lot more going on than people realize. As members, we know our spheres of influence but we don't know everything else. Even as your Pastor, I don't know all that God is doing through Glendale. This week, I attended a Lutheran Foundation training about managing volunteers. It got me wondering just how many volunteer positions we have here and how many members agree to help out. The answers may surprise you. By my count we have sixty-one volunteer positions and ninety-eight different people who help out. That is a lot of service for the Lord. There are probably more positions and more people volunteering than I know about. Did you know that we have fifteen volunteer opportunities connected to worship? From prep that needs to be done before the service, to those who lead during the service. Make that sixteen, I just thought of another one. Tracey Orstadt schedules the worship volunteers. We also have volunteer positions for music (3), property (9), finances (2), hospitality (5), education (5), communications (4), elected officers (5), outreach (5), inreach (3), Glendale representatives to other Lutheran organizations (4), and those who worked to find our wonderful organist. Sixty-one positions carried out by ninety-eight members. For a church that worships one hundred and thirty on a weekend that is an amazing amount of volunteerism! Praise God that we have so many Serving Christ and Serving Others. If you want to volunteer more, switch positions, or handle less for a time, contact me. We have a lot of flexibility. To God be the glory! |
