Hearts to Serve

One of our readers shared that her church created a special place for those women who are not currently leaders, yet have a sincere desire to be involved and serve the women in the church. Designated as the “Hearts to Serve” ministry team, these women are called upon at retreats, conferences or special events to serve as the hands and feet of the women’s ministry.

This team wears a special t-shirt or name tag, identifying them as women who are available to serve. They share the burden of ministry by being available to help in innumerable ways, with duties ranging from setting up the room, changing the seating or room configurations, helping women with their luggage, putting programs on chairs, and even keeping water pitchers refilled.

The “Hearts to Serve” ministry is a wonderful starting place for women to get involved within the Women’s Ministry.  It also becomes a place where women can be mentored and discipled with the intention of preparing them for leadership, and a testing ground for those women who desire to become more involved.
