Mark Carey Writes

This week volunteering and serving has come to my attention. Maybe it is because I get the privilege to talk to lots of people who are serving in different ways - and certainly because it has been raised during prayer times.

I’ve watched people getting alongside vulnerable and broken people - just like Jesus would.

I’ve seen others rolling up their sleeves and doing practical things to ensure that our environment is safe and welcoming for others - just like Jesus would.

I’ve witnessed people sharing faith and encouraging words with others - just like Jesus would.

I’ve watched as people have deliberately chosen to lay down their own comfort and convenience for the sake of others - just like Jesus would.

I’ve observed people functioning from a kingdom combination of duty and joy - just like Jesus would.

Dallas Willard said that discipleship is the process of becoming who Jesus would be if he were you. That’s what I see and what I look for. As a church of churches we are committed to live the gospel - good news- of Jesus by serving the health and well-being of our communities. I see so many elements of this and it makes my heart glad.
