Little Round Church Signs
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.
1 Peter 4:10 NIV

Romans 12:6-8
Some years ago, a church gave out little round buttons to be pinned to one's shirt. They displayed only one word: TUIT. When asked, the wearer explained, "It's a round tuit. When it comes to serving the Lord in church, I'm finally getting a round ‘tuit.'" Everyone got the point, and soon the unfilled roles and tasks in the church were fully staffed.
The Bible says, "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others…. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it in the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 4:10-11).
Too often we expect someone else to sing in the choir, sort out the benevolent closet, or support the church financially. But joy comes as we worship and work together in the Body of Christ according to the grace God has given. It's time for us to get a round tuit.
There are three kinds of people in the world—those who don't know what's happening, those who watch what's happening, and those who make things happen.

If we wait for someone else to step up and do it, it won't get done ;) We will all be left waiting.
