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.

As we begin our series on the different types of ministry within the church, we open with music. Just as the centering music and opening songs draw us into worship, music as ministry will help us talk through Paul's metaphor of a connected body. What kind of music helps you feel connected to yourself and the God who made you?
