Prayers Talking with God about the needs of others, our congregation, our country and world
Presence Simple to do - just show up. But church goes on at many other times of the week - in small groups, in ministry groups, in service groups. Being there for each other is a vital part of being the church.
Gifts While most people may associate gifts with money, sharing your spiritual gifts is also an important gift we give God and each other. Many people participate financially to the ministries of the church as well.
Service Getting outside the walls of the church and serving those in need is the hallmark of an active Christian.
Witness Mother Teresa has been quoted as saying, “Tell the whole world about Christ and, if necessary, use words. When you make yourself approachable ... people will ask about your faith."
