We have got some great volunteers at LifePointe church. And, we’ve got a bunch of them! Half of our church are active volunteers, and that’s nothing to sneeze at when it comes to church statistics.
But, I often worry about connection. And by connection, I mean a deep-rooted attachment to one’s surroundings and a committment level to service that exceeds the average.
That’s what I mean by connection.
I always wonder if the people that volunteer under me are experiencing a level of connection that they deserve. You know…the one that God has in store for them.
How can i know? What are the signs? If there is no connection, will interest level stay at a high?
It’s kind of like being married, i guess. There has to be some communication. Asking, listening, lunches…whatever it takes. We only have one shot at helping someone connect with the community, with God, and we can’t screw it up. Eyes wide open should be the motto.
Do me a favor…if you think you’re not connected, or are connected and want to take it to a higher level, tell me! Just like my wife tells me when I’m not taking our relationship to the next level.
Only…I promise I won’t tell you to wait until the commercial comes on.
