To Each, A Calling

I love the way every member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is given something to do in the church. Every effort is made by local church leaders to ask the Lord for guidance in giving responsibilities to members. We call it a "calling," meaning we believe God has a hand in what we're asked to do. Some are called to be teachers, some to be members of an activities committee, some to be the pianist or music director for the congregation, and so on. Service and activity are important because it gives everyone a chance to help someone else. I am grateful for the effort that is made by my local church leaders to find a responsibility for every member of the congregation.
