Pride is a struggle of mine for sure. I will do the "service" jobs, but I still really want people to acknowledge that I have done them. I always deeply admire people that serve in lowly ways and I find out in a non-announced way. Sam, I understand what your Dad is saying. Quit giving him a hard time. :) I am always floored again and again when I read Phil. 2 about the Lord of Lords coming to serve instead of being served. Pride is a struggle of mine for sure.

One of the things I've found is that the church responds very well to worship leading when the leader also is involved in service. I've made it a practice to always participate in work days at the church facility. I've also been quick to help other brothers and sisters in manual labor at their house (building a deck, moving, painting, etc.). I've also made it a practice to be a regular visitor at the hospital, as well as funerals and weddings. This participation in the every day life of friends "earns" credibility and is a sign of true fellowship, which carries over to our assemblies.
