I am part of Community Christian Church's Ushers Ministry and I plan on joining 2 more as of now. What we do
is make sure that the sanctuary of our church remains a place where people can completely immerse
themselves in worship and in the word of God, without the stress of everyday living.
This includes (but is not limited to):
-Making sure people have reasonable seats
(as seats in the back of the church are reserved for parents with newborns/children ages (0-2years of age)
and should not be used for individuals attempting to hide/isolate themselves from the world/other Christians/God)
-Removing/patching any obstructions & obscenities from/in the church
(of which prevents or hinders an individual from receiving the message from sermon administered by the pastor.)
(The following maybe (but not limited to): revealing attire, of which we will attempt to provide a covering for the clothing left behind by the individual, arguments, which will lead us to escorting the individuals outside the church, Crying Babies, that parents admire and are a usual problem in seated settings)
-Conducting outreaches
(to demonstrate the will of the church to the rest of the community)

If you see a need and if you can fill the need . Just do it! Wheather it is taking the trash out or cleaning bathroom or even helpping someone to the car or from the car or even holding a door! Just sharing Christ where ever you go. Even giving when there is a need. Just beiong there to share in worshipping with Christ. If everyone does what GOD lays on their heart then everything would be takn care of the power of being obedent to the voice of GOD!
Every need of the body would be taken care of and there would never be anything lacking!

I have to agree with you on that and that is exactly what this world needs. My motivation in college comes from this thinking. I believe that if I try harder in my studies, I will have more of an opportunity do more for/in the church.

just remember there is a blessing in pressing for the Kingdom of God! Just remember if you stop pressing it is hard to start up again. If your in the middle if the hill and your not at the bottom and not at the top it hard to start pressing again to get up to the same focre again. So never stp pressing forward no matter how hard it gets .
Love in Christ Jesus

Very true. God has revealed to me what he has planned for me to do in the church and its been a blessing ever since. I can't even imagine stopping.

I completely agree. I keep running into people who do more observing than problem-solving and I've learned that just listening to them complain helps further their cause (division and disunity) rather than promote the Kingdom of God (unity and church edification).

These same people are the ones who feel as though they are incapable of making changes to the things they have problems with. They may also fear/lack some of the characteristics needed to motivate change such as faith, sacrifice and dedication.

Hmmm, I never thought of it that way... But you make a good point since even in the manner in which a person gives their opinion you can tell whether they intend to find a solution or if their motives are wrong altogether.
