Volunteer[vol-uh n-teer]- Noun: a person who voluntarily offers himself or herself for a service or undertaking.
Do you ever feel so busy that you find it hard to keep up with your many family, work and social responsibilities? In this fast-paced society, deadlines
come & go, and we often find it hard enough to make time for necessities. So when someone asks you to volunteer for a ministry at PMC, is your first reaction to flee, or "I wish I could, but . . ." There is something I have found that is counter-intuitive to the volunteer experience. When thinking about time and effort, it isn’t always a zero-sum gain. Some people who are reticent to volunteer believe, “if I spend time volunteering, I will be so exhausted that I won’t have enough energy for work or home.” Here is the great news, Christ has a way of abundantly blessing our actions and
multiplying the meager gifts of time that we have to offer. When we think we don’t have time, somehow it can become multiplied in a supernatural way that can only be done through divine intervention. I believe Christ blesses our time this way, not because the church needs so many workers, rather, because He needs me (and maybe you) to learn to let go of the things that keep us “busy”; to learn to give Him more of our time. One of the ways we can do this is by thinking and planning how we can serve in any of the many ministries of PMC. If you have questions, don’t know who to contact, or already have some interest
areas and would like some more information, feel free to email me at bg1@pmchurch.org by Claudia Davisson
