Volunteering & Volunteer Students

Impact. a volunteer class, originally uploaded by sherry.moorhead.

We had our first Impact class on Tuesday of this week. We talked about what volunteering here at NewSpring is all about and how God has called and equipped each of us to build up the church together. We highlighted the opportunities to volunteer here in the church, shared some testimonies of a few volunteers, and looked back at where God has taken NewSpring over the past eight years.  Everyone then had a chance to mingle with volunteer staff and volunteers to ask questions and get more information about specific areas of ministry. With 35 sold out volunteers here to serve and set the example, 26 attendees were able to not just hear what volunteering is all about but they also got to see it.  Wow, only 26 people came.  Thankfully, yes.

This class has been brewing in my mind for some time now and the idea and concept is coming together. This first class was not promoted much on purpose because we really wanted to see if it would be beneficial to people. I also wanted to work the kinks out with the flow of the evening and the material. I've received some feedback from a few attendees and a few volunteers that served. We have a few things that we will do differently for the next one in April. I will be posting the exact date soon.  I can see this class being very beneficial in helping members with that next step and focus in ministry. It is my passion and deep desire to help people understand why they can and how they will help people, in this community and across the world, See Jesus.  NewSpring, are you ready to take it to the next level and see God do some amazing things?

If you served at or attended the class and would like to give some feedback or share just how awesome you thought it was, comment.
I love feedback and want this to be the best, most equipping, fun, cultivation of energy and excitement about volunteering ever experienced.
YEA, GOD!
I'll keep you posted. - see more pictures here.
