Serving is Biblical – it is what God wants us to do. We are offering a spiritual gifts class so that you can discover how you can serve God and His Kingdom in a joyful way, in the way that God has gifted you to serve.
A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. All together we are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.
Discover your spiritual gifts and passion for serving in the body of Christ. God provides gifts throughout your life. It may be time to take this class again! This class will meet on Sundays during the Christian Education hour, February 2—March 15, 2020.
