When Paul uses the metaphor “the Body of Christ” to mean the Church, he talks about eyes and hands and feet. These have fairly obvious functions, but not every part of the body (or the Body) does. What does it mean to do ministry as a treasurer, or an administrator, or a custodian? How can you serve with the gifts God has given you even if they aren’t as well-mentioned as those of an eye or a foot, a preacher or a teacher?  In this series, we’ll unpack not only what is already happening in ministry here but also how many different opportunities God calls us to consider with the entirety of the Body working together in faith.

Amidst the disciples' successes and setbacks, their unique talents, and moments of vulnerability, Jesus issues a compelling summons: they are to become the dedicated shepherds of God's flock. But what does it truly mean to engage in ministry at a professional level? And how does answering this divine calling empower our church to live as passionate disciples within our community and across the world?
