Key Takeaways

1) A friendly, well-trained parking lot attendant unknowingly removed all the barriers that kept Mary Ann from attending church for the first time. This encounter ultimately helped her find Jesus.

2) Volunteers and servers inside a local church don’t exist to fulfill a leader’s vision or ministry. In fact, as leaders in the church, we are called to equip people (saints) to find and fulfill their ministry.

3) You can’t do it all. The mindset of having to do everything yourself will eventually stunt growth and wear you out. Even Moses was instructed to stop leading this way!

4) Every “diamond, gold or silver” level volunteer starts out with “dirt on them.” Our job as leaders, once we’ve “mined the dirt to find them,” is to clean and polish them to help them shine their brightest.
