Planning Theological Grounding

Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received. – 1 Peter 4:10

As people of God, we are all called to use the gifts that God has given us to serve one another. Use this scripture to reflect:

  • What gifts has God given you?
  • How can you use your gifts as you begin this process with the community?
  • In what ways can you or are you serving those around you?
  • How are others serving you?
