How can I help?
Being the Body of Christ during Coronavirus
In the Bible, 1 Corinthians 12, it says:
12 The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ. 13 Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit... 18 But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. 19 How strange a body would be if it had only one part! 20 Yes, there are many parts, but only one body... God has put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity. 25 This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other. 26 If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad. 27 All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.
Many of our church members have been asking, "how can I help?" "how can I serve?", "how can I play my part in the body of Christ?" now that social distancing has caused our usual church life to change. For some, the answer is "continue doing what you did before, but let's find new ways to make it work online!". In addition, though, there are fresh opportunities to serve that are emerging in light of the current situation. We don't have all the details yet, but if you would like to fill in the form below to indicate where you might like to get involved, that would be brilliant and we'll be in touch soon!
