The Gifts are Many
Carteret Street is blessed to have a number of people with a variety of gifts. Laity Sunday is a day set
aside to celebrate the ministry of all Christians. John Wesley, the father of Methodism, believed strongly
in the priesthood of all believers. Here at Carteret Street, we are blessed with strong lay leadership and
a multitude of individuals who are faithful and committed to the task of ministry. Our Lay Leader,
Courtney Worrell will preach at both services. Also participating in the services are Jack and Jack Carter
Worrell.
Today is also a day when we examine our own gifts. Consecration Sunday is a time for reflection
concerning stewardship of our gifts. It is about deciding what we will do with what we have been
given. Stewardship is our response to God’s grace to us. We remember the words of Jesus when he
said, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Matthew 6:21)
Today, we ask you to prayerfully consider how you will respond to the call of God upon your life and
resources. You are the only one who can answer the question, “What is God calling me to do?”
