d Finour Y t! Fi
God has given each person talents, gifts, and interests to share for the benefit of others. Everyone can find a place where service and joy intersect -- a place that just fits. This catalog is designed to show you the many opportunities available to serve inside and outside the walls of Brentwood United Methodist Church. Look inside to find opportunities INSIDE the walls of BUMC like teaching Sunday School, singing in the choir, knitting prayer shawls, replenishing the pews. You will also find opportunities to serve God OUTSIDE the walls of BUMC like building a Habitat House, going on a mission trip, mentoring a child at Harvest Hands, serving a meal at the Union Mission. No matter what your gifts, available time, or passions, there’s a place for you to fit. Here’s how to find your fit: • Take a few minutes to complete the Spiritual Gifts assessment at the front of the catalog • Browse the opportunities listed in the catalog • Identify the opportunities that tug at your heart or spark your interest • Fill out the enclosed commitment card and bring it to worship the weekend of March 5/6; you may also complete your card on-line any time at www.bumc.net/serving. After you’ve turned in your commitment card or completed it on-line, you will be contacted by a staff person or lay leader in the area(s) you’ve indicated. They will help you get involved. May God bless you as you find that place where service and joy intersect.
Fit Me In Somewhere Fit me in somewhere in this giant jigsaw, God, Somewhere in this work of art you’re working, Select a space my shape can fill and with a puzzle maker’s skill Let my contours find their fit without contortion. Teach me which patch I am, God, in the cosmic quilt you’re quilting. Show me where my square of selfhood is of use. Let the colorful complexities of the pattern that is me Find their purpose in the placement that you choose. Show me my position, God, in this group photograph. Stand me where you want me to stand. Put me next to whom you will. Make me stand, for good or ill, Precisely in the place your plan demands. Tell me what I am, God, in this body you are building: A tongue to taste, a nerve to serve, an ear to hear. Give me grace to not be, gracefully, the parts I am not called to be And to play with elegance the roles I’m given. Fit me in somewhere in this giant jigsaw, God, Somewhere in this work of art you’re working. Weave your wondrous tapestry until the twisted, tangled threads of me, Surrendered to your artistry, form an image that is beautiful to see. -- Author Unknown
Discovering and Using Your Spiritual Gifts The Bible tells us that God gives every Christian spiritual gifts to be used to benefit others (1 Corinthians 12:7). When we serve using our gifts, we discover joy, meaning and fulfillment. We discover our perfect fit. How do you know what spiritual gift you’ve been given? Try the exercise below to help you find out. Listed below are 16 gifts identified in Scripture that are often used in service to others. Under each gift’s name is a word or phrase that indicates its contribution to the church along with a list of words that are often descriptive of people having that gift. If five or more words on a list are true of you, you may have received that gift. To further explore the gifts you may have, ask one or more Christian friends or family members who know you well to do the same process for you, without knowing your answers.
