John 3:8
WORSHIP POWER #4
This Sunday’s worship celebrates our laity, the members of our congregation – the body of Christ, and its empowerment by the Holy Spirit for God’s work in our world. Laity Sunday is a time to recognize the work and mission of all laity — not only within the walls of the church but in everyday lives.
In the early days of American Methodism, the laity served and maintained congregations between visits of the circuit riders. Today, lay people are the front line of daily ministry at the workplace, in the home and within the community.
Through our baptism we are given gifts of the Holy Spirit which empower us for our tasks. Each of us has a particular interest or passion for aspects of this call to mission and ministry
