This past Sunday, we studied Titus 3:1-8 and Paul reminded us that we have been called by God to serve others. We have been blessed so that we can be a blessing. We have been set apart to be a people who are zealous for and devoted to good works. As believers, we know this truth in our minds but it’s hard to live it out in reality. As a husband and father of two, I know how hectic and crazy life can get. Your normal routine of going to work and taking care of the kids is exhausting and you feel like collapsing at the end of each day. As I said in my sermon, I really don’t want to add an extra burden to your already tired shoulders but I do want to encourage you to consider how you could serve the church and the community. Maybe you are already doing both of these things and that’s great but maybe you need some tangible opportunities to grab a hold of right now. Below is a link to a Google Doc that lists fourteen local organizations that you can check out and volunteer with. This document also includes the contact information for each organization. Our small group leaders have been given this list as well and its been encouraging to hear how groups are already stepping out to serve! This document is meant to serve as a conversation starter and springboard for service. If you can think of any other organizations that should be added to the list, please don’t hesitate to contact me at tbrown@harvestpittsburghnorth.org.

Maybe you are struggling to figure out how you can serve at Harvest on Sunday mornings and throughout the rest of the week. Below are the ministries that we offer, the needs that currently need to be filled, and the contact information for each ministry team leader. Prayerfully look over these ministries and ask the Lord how he is calling you to serve. If you need help figuring out how God has gifted and equipped you, please contact Pastor Jeff or myself.
