I appreciated Aaron’s post about the unity of the church in its worship and in our mutual obligation to encourage one another. I had a wonderful moment of encouragement this past Sunday evening that I would love to share.

The encouraging moment was this: observing a U of L student serving in a part of the church where s/he would not be expected to be seen serving. This member went about doing tasks for others that had nothing to do with furthering college ministry or anything that might benefit him/her. I had no idea that this person was doing these tasks, and the way that it was being done told me that this was a very routine act of service. This typifies a general quality that I have seen in nearly all of the university students that have joined the church. Quite remarkably, they do not come only to be served, but also to serve. This is having the mind of Christ, and it is a reason to be deeply encouraged by what God is doing in our fellowship.
