God's giftings!

We are very blessed here at Morwell with many outreaches into the community - we have the usual corps activities - worship twice on Sunday - a small Sunday School - Junior Soldiers - Kids' Klub - Playgroup - Women's Bible Study - Home League - Companion Club - Band - Singers - pianist - organist. We have a Welfare Office with a paid co-ordinator - a Jumble Shed which is fully volunteered [about 30 of them] - we have folk who do PLPs & PSPs - court workers - prison chaplain. We are indeed very blessed.
On the whole people are in the right place for their gifting - they have a passion for what they do - they will train to become better - they will apply what they learn - they will share their frustrations appropriately - they will ask for help if needed or if it's out of their field of experience.
It is a privilege to be able to line manage these folks - to be their mentors - to be their sounding board - to be the one outside the box to give clarity in situations - to support them in prayer - to encourage them - to share in their triumphs - to share in their disappointments.
Not all is perfect - but there is so much potential - if tapped into and directed wisely - this place could impact our world even more than it does - what a challenge - what a privilege!
