Content
1. Making the Case
It all begins and ends with prayer---corporate and individual. Discussion of "the priesthood of believers," what it meant to the first believers and how it applies in today's culture.
2. Getting Involved
Doing the things that matter to God, to his church, to you.
3. Team Spirit
The Holy Spirit draws volunteers into a particular ministry, then draws them together into a cord that cannot be broken. Benefits for the individual volunteer, and the volunteer benefits the team.
4. Finding Your Fit
Are you the right one for a particular position? What are some good ways you can find out?
5. Recruiting Is Everyone's Job
"Networking" on another level as you learn how to work your connections to identify others just waiting to be asked.
6. Volunteer Pay
Compensation for volunteers comes in many other ways than $$--riches that can be taken with you!
7. Storytelling
Collect and share your opportunities, challenges, triumphs.
