It Is No Small Task

In the small church cooperation is essential.  Most aspects of our life together are lay-lead (how Baptist!) and require everyone's participation.  No one can really ride the pine in a small church, and here's the great news:  At Scottsville Baptist I continually see folks bending over backwards to serve God.  It is no small task to lead the small church, but together (and only together!) we do it.

Here are a few examples that come to mind today:

It is no small task to mow the church and parsonage lawns each week, but together we do it. 

It is no small task to host a Vacation Bible School for the community, but together we do it.

It is no small task to recruit nursery workers and teachers for our growing children's ministry, but together we do it.

It is no small task to paint the window sills.  It is no small task to clean out the garbage cans, replace hard-to-reach lightbulbs, and sweep up messes you didn't make, but together we do it.

We are growing and grateful, and there is nothing small about our love for God.  What a privilege to pastor Scottsville Baptist!
