A Job or A Ministry? The things you are passionate about are

not random, they are your calling.

-- Fabienne Fredrickson

If you’re doing it because no one

else will, it’s a job. If you’re doing

it to serve the Lord, it’s a ministry.

If you’re doing it just well enough

to get by, it’s a job. If you’re doing

it to the best of your ability, it’s a

ministry.

If you’re committed to staying

with it, even when it means letting

go of other things, it’s a ministry.

If you quit because no one praised

you or thanked you, it was a job.

If you stay with it even when no

one seems to notice, it’s a minis-

try. If you do it because someone

says it needs to be done, it’s a job.

It’s hard to get excited about a

job. It’s almost impossible not to

get excited about a ministry.

People may say “well done” when

you do your job. The Lord will say

“well done” when you complete

your ministry.

An average church is filled with

people doing jobs. A great church

is filled with people involved in

ministry.

If Got calls you to a ministry, don’t

treat it like a job. If you have a job

in the church, give it up and find a

ministry.

God doesn’t want us feeling stuck

in a job, but to be excited, fulfilled

and faithful in a specific ministry.

It was an awesome event, with

members of our extended church

family coming from as far north as

Waterloo, IA and as far south as

Hannibal, MO, in attendance.

The Good Spirit was evident

as 66 guests gathered in Moline

Friday evening, April 13, for

fellowship and a delicious meal of

baked ham, scalloped potatoes,

and all the trimmings.

Saturday got off to an early

start with Marlene and Lyle Brim

leading morning devotions at 7:30

a.m. followed by brunch and a day

full of activities. After closing wor-

ship we headed home filled with a

renewed spirit and fresh outlook,

ready to bring ministry to each of

our unique communities in Christ.

Seventies Dennis and Pam LaRoque

of City Center Ministries served as

retreat directors. Mission Center

Invitational Minister Pat Reaves

coordinated the event.

Outreach Retreat Guests Learn to See With New Eyes

Seeing with New Eyes was a wonderful learning experience and the

people were so welcoming and friendly! It was my pleasure to give a

testimony at the closing service and I felt God's presence among us. I

am hoping other congregations will jump on the bandwagon and host

more events such as this. -- Dana Nuckols, Hannibal Congregation

They also must be able to work effectively

with a team of volunteers as Camp Nauvoo

moves into the operational stage of the lodge

expansion project.

People from different religious traditions

come to Nauvoo to explore the roots of the

Restoration, particularly members of the many

churches that trace their roots to the church

founded by Joseph Smith Jr. This offers signifi-

cant opportunity for Community of Christ to

practice for our guests what we believe about hospitality.

Lodge frustrating with things almost finished but lots

of last-minute odds and ends to be done. We

finally got the hot water working this week and

finished the new electric main, thanks to help

from Kent LeVan, who made six long trips from

Cedar Valley Grove Campground to Nauvoo to

help with the connections.

At this point the original Camp Nauvoo

expansion project approved four years ago is

finished and the costs are pretty close to the

estimate that was approved. Money has been set

aside for the elevator, which will be added next

year. We have high hopes to have enough

additional contributions to finish the first floor

rooms next winter. The RV group was able to

get two classrooms in the basement functional

although rough. We anticipate they will continue

to work on the basement over the next couple

of years.

The six tiny houses will remain on the RV

pads for one more year. We were not able to

do the underground utilities needed to move

them. We anticipate doing that work next fall. – Robert
