In most conversations, the statement above would be a routine question without the expectation of any specific response. When we use here at Sugarloaf, it means something very important! Once a quarter we ask each of you "How are you doing" as it relates to the commitments you made when you joined the church. Each of us promised to Worship God, Grow our Lives, and Serve the World. So...how are you doing with that? Are you following through? Are you getting and staying involved? Are you participating in meaningful ways in the life of the church?
For the last two weeks I have preached on the three-fold priorities of this church - Worship, Grow, Serve. This week I will be reminding all of us of the importance of "serving" as followers of Christ. Our service will conclude with an opportunity for us to make commitments in these areas. You will be asked to review the many ministry and serving options available and then find those areas where you can make a difference.
I look forward to seeing you this Sunday.
