“We are just seeds in God’s hands,
We start the same, but where we land
Is sometimes fertile soil, sometime sand
We’re all just seeds in God’s hands.” By Pat Alger
Oh this song has talked to me for a long time, so when our Natural Church Development team agreed to hand out Seeds for Serving and Sharing it immediately came to my mind. Yes we’re going to hand out seed money of $10 to each family or individual to turn it into a loving project of serving and sharing. While a goal would be to reap a harvest for many of our service ministries we have going through out the church a month later; the real mission is working within a group with that is hopefully crossed generational to nurture the gift. As the song reminds us, we are the fertile soil that our gifts and children have landed.
Cash, so the church is going to give ME cash? Yes, we are looking for you to join groups and create FUNdraising ideas that for say the cost of the ingredients or supplies you reap the harvest of say a bake sale, a work project, or event. Feel free to start organizing teams and pooling your seed money together. The money will be handed out the weekends of September 13 & 20, and we’ll have more to say about it the two weeks prior. This joint project between our NCD group and the Mission Support team will then recap the stories as the money plus as it returned in late October, in a service updates thru October and on the weekend of November 8th.
We willl add more ways to foster passionate Spirituality & loving relationships within small groups to this blog as time goes on. We hope you find ways to do God’s Work with Your Hands.
