MORE OF JESUS Dear Frazer Family– You’ve heard me say it many times, but I’m going to keep repeating it: the secret to life is, more of Jesus, less of me. That’s true in our church as well.

What we hope to see in 2015 more than anything is more of Jesus! More lives being reached with his love. More hearts being transformed by his power. More mission and ministry being done in his name.

I invite you to use this booklet as a tool to discover how you can personally Follow Jesus. On your Personal Commitment Card you’ll find three key areas: 1. Giving—joining together to support the ministry and mission of the church to make more followers of Jesus.

2. Serving—following the example of Jesus by serving one another within the church, 3. Mission—obeying the command of Jesus to go out beyond the walls of the church to share God’s love This booklet will help you identify areas of service and mission you are gifted and called to, so you can fill out and return your Personal Response Card, either online or in print. My prayer is that more than ever in 2015, every member of Frazer will truly be a follower of Jesus, with every day bringing more of Him and less of us. When that happens, we will change the world!

Dr. Tim Thompson Senior Minister

PART 1:

GIVING MISSION & MINIS TRY BUDGET A first step in giving, if you have only been giving on a sporadic basis, is to make a commitment to give something regularly. Even if you can only afford a small amount, the decision to make giving a commitment instead of an option is itself an act of worship. The Bible teaches us to move towards giving a “tithe,” or 10% of your income or beyond. Many people in Frazer have shared that, while they might have thought tithing would be very difficult if not impossible for them, once they made the commitment to do it they discovered unexpected blessings that made it possible for them to not only give 10% joyfully, but even to make investments beyond that amount.

Fill in the giving pledge that you are ready to make. Under the amount select whether you expect to give weekly, monthly, or use some other schedule.

NEW HOPE FUND FOR MISSIONS For those who desire to give by faith above and beyond their regular tithes, Frazer has established a “New Hope Fund” that will prepare us to take advantage of new opportunities in Montgomery and around the world to expand the kingdom of God. The Lord has blessed us to be able to pay back nearly all of our debts from past expansion (anticipated completion by the end of 2014), and now we want to be in a position to respond to God’s leading for future growth.

LEAVE A LEGACY The Frazer Charitable Trust provides members with an opportunity to give above and beyond the regular mission and ministry budget, whether through non-cash gifts (e.g. stocks), as well as planned estate giving. Frazer even offers free estate planning services to members through our partnership with Philanthrocorp. For more information on giving through the Charitable Trust contact Harold Faulker, harold@frazerumc.org.

Frequently Asked Questions About Giving 1. What is the purpose of a giving pledge?

Making a commitment to give is an act of worship and an expression of gratitude to God. On a practical level, your commitment allows Frazer to better budget and plan our ministries.

2. What is the difference between a “tithe” and an “offering”?

A tithe is the first tenth of your income. An offering is any gift above and beyond that amount. Scripture teaches that God blesses the obedience of tithing, and that there are great spiritual rewards for giving offerings, since the more we “sow” the more we will “reap.”

3. What if I want to make a pledge, but I’m not sure what my income will be?

Your pledge is ultimately between you and God, and He knows what the future holds. Make your best estimate of what you feel led by him to give by faith, and then trust Him to provide your needs.

If your income changes unexpectedly, God will certainly know and understand what you are able to give.

4. In what ways can I give?

You may place an envelope with cash or check in the collection basket during worship services, mail or drop off your gift during the week to the church office, schedule an Electronic Funds Transfer, or give online at www.frazerumc.org. Gifts of stock, endowments and other assets may also be set up through Frazer’s Charitable Trust Fund coordinator.

5. Can I schedule recurring donations?

Yes. Electronic gifts can be scheduled once or twice a month.

6. What are the pros and cons of online giving?

Online giving is convenient and safe, easy to track and easy to schedule on a regular basis. However, there are small fees charged by banks and credit card companies that will reduce the amount of your gift that reaches the church. Those who give online may wish to increase the amount given slightly to cover those fees.

7. Will I receive a contribution statement?

Yes, provided you do not give anonymously, statements will be mailed to you quarterly or sent to your e-mail account at your request.

PART 2:

SERVE Serving is how we follow the example of Jesus. In John chapter 13, Jesus went out of His way to wash His disciples feet, and explain to them that just as He served, so they should serve.

We divided up our opportunities to serve into two parts: ministry opportunities inside the walls of the church, and mission opportunities outside the walls of the church. Both are equally important, so we hope that you’ll select at least one in each area. The ministry opportunities within the church start on page 9; for the mission opportunities outside the church go to page 29.

7 S TEPS TO CHOOSING YOUR AREA(S) OF SERVICE 1 Pray!

Don’t pray about “if” you should serve, pray about “where!” When you come to Him seeking wisdom, ready to obey whatever He reveals, you can be confident He will hear your prayer.

2 Investigate the Options Read through this opportunities book carefully. Feel free to call the church staff to find out more about a ministry. Even if you have served in the same area for years, become familiar with other areas of service so you can remain open to the Holy Spirit’s leading.

3 Discover Your Gifts Every Christian has spiritual gifts given by God to accomplish His plan for your life. See Romans 12, I Corinthians 12 and Ephesians 4 in your Bible.

4 Consider Your Strengths In addition to your spiritual gifts, your natural abilities can guide your choice of service as well. (Continued next page) • Life Experiences can give you insight and sympathy to help others going through similar situations.

6 SERVE

• Special Knowledge such as medical training, technical skills, or construction expertise can open doors for ministry.

• Talents such as musical, artistic or athletic ability can, and should, be used to glorify God.

5 Ask Your Friends Serving with others you know can be a great way to enjoy fellowship.

But don’t limit yourself; volunteering together can also be a great way to meet new people.

6 Do Something!

Even if you aren’t sure what to do, sign up for something. God will bless your willingness and you’ll gain more wisdom in the process.

7 Enter the Codes on Your Card Each service area in this booklet has a three-digit code printed next to the name. To volunteer, copy this code into the spaces provided on your Personal Response Card.

“Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.

So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.” –Romans 12:4-8 NLT SERVE 7

TOP 5 URGENT VOLUNTEER NEEDS Every ministry at Frazer is valuable and we encourage you to serve in the places where you believe God has gifted and called you. However, as you consider the many options at Frazer it may be helpful for you to know where our most urgent needs for volunteers are for 2015.

1

Small Group Facilitator (#090) We are launching a major initiative with the goal of connecting every member to a small group. Since groups function best with only 6-12 members, we need lots of groups! Our dream is to have groups meeting in homes all across the city. You don’t have to be a teacher or a Bible scholar to lead a group, just have a heart to connect people to Christ and to one another.

2 3

Children’s Teachers (#043-048) Let’s be honest, teaching children can be a tough assignment and a big commitment of your time on Sunday morning, but no job is more rewarding.

Our children are the future of the church, the hope of the world, and Jesus said the kingdom of heaven belongs to them.

ONEFamily (#176-180) ONEFamily answers God heart for orphans by promoting adoption and foster care, but you don’t have to be an adoptive/foster family to participate. Our goal this year is for every member to find a way they can “WRAP” these children in the love of God by Wrestling in Prayer, Relief Care, Acts of Service, and encouragement through the Promises of God.

4 5

Transformation Montgomery (#173-175) By providing people with a path out of poverty we can change our city one heart and one house at a time. We need more mentors to come alongside adults and students to provide encouragement, support, and practical and spiritual training.

Media Ministries (#141-147) Frazer’s internet and TV ministries bring the gospel to thousands of people in our area and we are looking to expand that further with new initiatives to create local programming. Be on the cutting edge of sharing the good news through the latest technolgies through our media team.
