Program Who is a Lay Servant? by Rex Nelson
- Lay Servants, according to the Discipline, “serve the [church] in
any way in which their witness or leadership and service inspires the
laity to deeper commitment to Christ and more effective
discipleship, ... In short, if you have responded to a call from your
pastor or nominating committee, or been asked to do something for your
church, or worked in Christ's example in the community, you are a lay
servant. ... Come and get capitalized. Become a Lay Servant. After all,
you're already doing the job! ...

Servant My Journey by Debi Burtard

even realized it as is usually God's plan. ... My high school counselor
informed me that there were no careers where a person could be a public
speaker unless you were a lawyer or a politician. ...

Hello Rex,

 

Would you let me know if a Basic Lay Servants class gets scheduled in the metro area, or really anywhere in Southern Wisconsin, in the next few months?

 

I finished the Basic book on my own, but really hope to complete a course this year.

 

I am participating in Faith Alive starting in September, but i am still anxious to complete tyhe Basic Course.

 

Thanks again for all you do!
 

Tom Bolton
