It’s Not About You

I am posting to everyone Mark Waltz Best Practice #26. As I read this again today it was an encouragement as to what we do , Not only on Sunday, but each day.

Guest Services Best Practice #26: It’s Not About You
Accept it. It's not about you. Not completely.
Around Granger there probably was a time when it was all about you. The cafe
was about you. The shuttles were about you. The kids' launch zone slides were
about you. The smoke and lights and music was about you.
But, after you've been around awhile, after you've agreed to join the mission we
share - it's not about you.
it's about others. Others who aren't here yet or who are new to our church.
After being around a bit, you become a "regular", even a member. It's easy to let a
sense of entitlement settle in. You can start to wonder "what's in it for me?" You
can wish the music was more your style; think the cafe should carry your brand of
coffee.
But joining the mission of the church isn't about entitlement or comfort. It's about
shared responsibility. It's about sacrifice. It's about others.
Others who'll take our parking spot, our favorite seat, and the attention of the
guest services teams.
Yep. That's right.
You in? It's not about you.
It's about Jesus and the others he died for, too.

I hope this encouraged you too!
