Mustard Seed Ministry

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

In the fall of 2023, we were inspired by a guest minister at the SOPHIA breakfast as she shared with us the parable of the mustard seed. She spoke about how Jesus said that faith as small as a mustard seed could grow into a great plant that would help many people. A small seed can yield great results and blessings but it has to be planted. When we think of all the needs of the world, the community and our own church, it can be overwhelming. If each person would step forward and do one new thing, it would change our church, our community and our world. Rather than thinking that we can’t tackle a big problem, we each need to ask what is one new thing we can do to serve God.

Often, people don’t know enough about the needs or what the commitment involves. Many of our community partners are in need of volunteers and many of our own congregation ministries need people to serve. If each person in the congregation pledged to do one new step of service, we could change our community, our church and our world. “Whatever we do for the least of these, we do unto Christ Himself.”
