Do I VOLUNTEER that is the question?

To volunteer or be a volunteer-can't decide which to use.

The definition of volunteer is 1: a person who voluntarily undertakes or expresses a willingness to undertake a service: OR 1. somebody who works for nothing: somebody who works without being paid 2. somebody acting voluntarily: somebody who does something voluntarily, especially something undesirable

Do you think like myself there is a shortage of them? As I talk to other individuals or look around our church, certain areas need volunteers. This would help in giving each person a break once in awhile and helping areas grow. We have a growing congregation which you would suppose have individuals who could give their time.

Or are we a society which thinks we don't have the time because our schedules are too full? Maybe we should make time for other things........such as volunteering for King's Kids, Nursery, Media, Kids' Bible Study etc., etc., I could keep on going. I hate to beg for people or stand on my head to prove a point but I can do these things.

Something to think about.... Great Reasons to Volunteer
help others, make a difference(touch the life of a child or adult or maybe both), find purpose, enjoy meaningful conversation, connect with your (church) community, feel involved, meet new people (which could mean you have new friends), impress your mom/dad, impress yourself, expand your horizons, get out of the house, and feel better about yourself.

Are you interested in being a VOLUNTEER?
