Discover your gifts Some of the spiritual gifts are: serving administration hospitality encouraging helps faith pastor/shepherd mercy wisdom prophecy knowledge discernment giving healing evangelism teaching How do I find out my spiritual gift? 1. Pray and ask the Lord to show you. “Lord, what do YOU want to do through me?” 2. Pray about and reflect on “What do I find fulfillment in doing?” 3. Pray and ask others “What spiritual gift do you recognize in me?” 4. Begin serving in an area in which you sense an interest. Do you sense the Spirit enabling or energizing you? Do you feel motivated or inspired to do more in this area of service? If yes, let the Spirit continue to work through you as you serve and enjoy the teamwork! If no, try another area of serving…there is no limit to how many different areas you may want to try as you patiently persevere in putting your spiritual gifts into practice! 5. For more guidance in discovering your spiritual gifts please consider going through Calvary’s Discovery Program. Discovery is an intentional process that encourages: • A consistent pattern of spiritual growth • Using, recognizing and developing your spiritual gifts • Engaging in Calvary Community through participation or serving in our church family. The Discovery Program consists of: 1. Taking home a Discovery Packet and completing two surveys – about 1 hour. 2. Calling Calvary and speaking with Elaine to set up an appointment with one of our Discovery Facilitators. 3. Enjoying a prayerful, interactive and informative 2-hour meeting where you will receive Biblically based guidance and prayerful encouragement as you consider where God wants you to grow and serve. To start the Discovery process, pick up a packet from the Connection Point or Information Center. When you’ve completed the packet, contact Elaine Lohroff ([email protected]) at ext. 5903. 6
