In our service last Sunday we reflected on the story of Gideon – that frightened young man who described himself as the weakest member of his family in the smallest clan in his tribe. He thought he was powerless, but God called him a mighty warrior and used him to rescue Israel from their enemies. God is still in the business of turning Gideons into mighty warriors today, and one of the safest places to take the risk of trusting God as he works through us is in the local church.

So, as a response to Gideon’s story, I invited everyone to consider where they might fit when it comes to serving in some way in the church. We handed out forms listing all the service opportunities at WMC and I’ve been so encouraged by all the people who have put their hands up to get involved in some way. Now, we look forward to seeing what God will do with these practical steps of faith!
