FCCN Worship Ministry Blog: Aug 17

Party by the Pond: 6:00 P.M. Sunday, August 29: 6:00 P.M.-7:30 P.M.

It’s just 12 days away! The sun will be setting in the west and the building will provide some wonderful shade. No direct sunshine, just a nice setting with music, icecream, and the joy of hearing children play in the inflatable bounce house. I hope to see you there!

Value of the Month: I’m a 10!

^“The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ” (1^st Corinthians 12:12)

We must all serve in the role for which we are both passionate and talented. It’s got to be something you love to do, and it’s got to be something you’re good at too. Passion = the thing you dream about doing even when you’re not doing it. Talent = “it just comes naturally to me.” Or as Marcus Buckingham said in one of my favorite books First Break All the Rules, “talent is a recurring pattern of thought, feeling, or behavior that can be productively applied.”

A good example of this is our very own Fritz Kaufmann. He is transitioning from Children’s Ministry to Community Care here at FCCN. It’s the perfect role for him. I’ve seen him in action at the hospital and on long trips, and he is fantastic at making people feel welcome, have fun, and stay on task at the same time. He has a passion for serving people and talent in community care. This new role fits his talent and passion like a glove. I’m excited to see him flourish in this new adventure.

So, if you love what you’re doing, and you’re good at it, you’re probably in the right role. If not, try to find the place where your passion and talent come together like the old Beatles song. “Come together, right now, over me, shum dom do ba doo bom!”
