Psalms For A Pilgrimage People
Lenten Study & Reflection Group 2010
We are each given particular gifts of the Spirit.
For the sake of the world, God calls all followers
of Jesus to Christian ministry. In the church;
some are called to specific ministries of leadership,
both lay and ordered;
some witness to the good news;
some uphold the art of worship;
some comfort the grieving and guide the wandering;
some build up the community of wisdom;
some stand with the oppressed and work for justice.
To embody God’s love in the world, the work of the church requires the ministry and discipleship of all believers.
