You Don’t Go Unnoticed

Faith Family,

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I continue to give thanks to our gracious God for putting you all in our lives. Your faithfulness and your enthusiasm fill my heart with joy and helps complete my hope in Christ. Every day, I look forward to serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ alongside each of you and growing in our discipleship journey together. I pray as God has continued blessings us, may we continue to be a blessing to others.

I want to take this opportunity to share my appreciation. I want to begin my saying “thank you” to the Trustees who have worked nonstop since we purchased our Coronado facility last year. These folks have spent many hours on phones, going through emails, scheduling meetings and scheduling conversations. Since we have been in the facility, their servanthood has not stopped. They have continued tweaking things, fixing things, and schedule other things to get fixed.

I also want to thank the Emergency Team. We have men and women who have been trained on the AED, CPR and are ready to act. We also have a group of men who every Sunday walk around the facility during worship making sure we are safe, protected and comfortable. They are willing to be the first line of defense. Knowing we have men and women who are ready to respond, but like me, hoping they never have to. Knowing we can worship together feeling safe because of these folks, helps put our hearts in the right mind frame for worship.

I would also like to lift up the Worship Team. We have a great group of folks willing to read scripture, sing specials and in choirs. We have a trusted liturgist, communion servers, song leaders and pianist, not to mention a couple of backups that are pretty dynamite as well. These folks help make sure our worship is an opportunity for us to engage in the presence of God and empowered by the Holy Spirit. 

I want to include Christine, our Office Manager, who has begun taking care of the Power Points. Speaking of media, I want to recognize the men and women who sit back in the A/V room making sure our sound, power points and video are working properly. I will say that the A/V responsibilities can be a thankless job at times, and instead of encouragement and praise, they receive a lot of “feedback.” I am talking throughout my ministry, and not specifically here at KGMC. However, these folks are dedicated, responsible, committed to making sure things go smoothly in person and online.

There are many more I can thank, but I will save that for another time. 

These are the 4 areas I wanted to draw our attention to. So, if you pass by the A/V room and there are folks sitting there, let them know they are appreciated. If you get up during worship and run into one of the gentlemen walking around, thank them. Before or after worship, let those involved in worship know that you appreciate their weekly commitment. Appreciation goes along way. All these folks are not serving God for recognition, or even affirmation, they are serving for Kingdom Purposes. Knowing that folks appreciate you, can go a long way!

May we be faithful to the leading of the Holy Spirit and bring encouragement and appreciation to those we worship with. 

Have a blessed Week!
