This Sunday we had a combined Priesthood and Relief Society meeting in the chapel describing ways we can get more involved serving in the community through the church's "JustServe" website.
Two JustServe stake coordinators helped us get excited about community service. Mary from the stake encouraged us to serve if we have extra time during the month, but also reminded everyone not to feel pressured if you just don't have enough time.
The JustServe website allows people all over the world to find and sign up for volunteer opportunities in their own communities.
Mary also reminded us that serving in the community softens our hearts and those we serve. We can be a light in a darkening world.
The second stake coordinator for JustServe discussed how we can learn how to comfort others who are suffering during our moments of strength. Sometimes we feel weak and need service from others, but we can offer service when we are feeling strong.
The JustServe website helps us with three things:
1- FIND service opportunities
2- POST service opportunities
3- INVITE friends to serve
The website allows us to post service opportunities that we become aware of, even if we are not able to volunteer for them ourselves.
Bishop Miner finished the meeting by encouraging us to reach out and be disciples of Christ.
