Reasons I Love Alto...Doers

10/30/2020

0 Comments

 
By Pastor Kevin Van Wyk
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” (James 1:22 ESV)
 
It’s November, a time to be grateful. This month, in particular, I’ve been thankful for all the doers at Alto. You “don’t just listen and do nothing” (James 1:22 ERV) at Alto. You are proving “yourselves doers of the word [actively and continually obeying God’s precepts], and not merely listeners [who hear the word but fail to internalize its meaning], deluding yourselves.” (James 1:22 AMP)
 
I hesitate to list people here, for fear I will miss someone, but I hope you can rejoice over these gifts of time and talent being offered.
  • Ardyce spent time organizing the material for quilts.
  • Blayne stepped away from hunting to be trained and then run sound Sunday morning.
  • Benita spent a day (including an amish bakery) with a young lady in foster care as part of our Welcomed (Foster Care Family Support) ministry. Others brought meals and spent time blessing these families!
  • Christian volunteered on the spur of the moment to help with video ministry when his Sunday school class was at camp.
  • Steve spent time troubleshooting and programming our sound system.
  • Brian and others came early to provide valet parking.
  • Lynnae washed nursery toys and other loving souls have been in the nursery caring for our children. I’m sorry I’ve not been in there lately to list names. (Steph, maybe we need another ;-).
  • Libbi & Zack helped chaperone middle schoolers (& Doug) at camp.
  • Praise Team members prepared music, practiced, and lead us in worship.
  • Elders and shepherds made calls and visits to our members.
  • Nearly 20 teachers prepared lessons and taught Sunday school, Bible class, and small groups.
 
I’m sure I missed some of you serving in the church and serving beyond our walls. 
THANK YOU to all of you for being the church. 
THANK YOU for not just listening to a sermon each week, but for doing the ministry. 
THANK YOU for loving your neighbor and being a light in the world.
THANK YOU!
 
If you’re wanting to be a doer, you can find a list of opportunities and discover your strengths on our website.
