Remember to Call Your Minister:
1. WHEN YOU ARE FACING A SERIOUS PROBLEM
Most Ministers have been trained to help people with their
personal, family and other problems. The important judgment of a spiritual
leader,
together with his prayers for Divine guidance, will enable
you to face your problems with confidence. Don't allow your problem to get
too big for
you.
2. WHEN SOMEONE IS INTERESTED IN THE CHURCH
You constantly meet young people and adults who are in your
community, and others who have not united with the local church. Put in a
good
word for your church and tell your Pastor about the
prospective members.
3. WHEN THERE IS AN ILLNESS
Your Minister is as near as your telephone. His
presence, counsel and prayer will be helpful. Your Pastor will appreciate
your phone call when
you, your loved one or friend is sick or going to the
hospital.
4. WHEN THERE IS DEATH
Your Minister
should be notified when there is a death in the family. He can comfort and
counsel you or your family at this difficult time.
5. WHEN YOU MUST MAKE AN IMPORTANT DECISION
If you are a
young person and face a decision about going to college, arranging your
course of study, or choosing your life work,
make an appointment to see
your Minister. The viewpoint of your spiritual advisor should be considered.
6. WHEN THERE IS A WEDDING
Your
Pastor should be consulted before the Wedding day is set. Since you
undoubtedly drive to have one or more conferences
with your Minister, it is advisable to contact him
well in advance of the Wedding.
7.
WHEN SOMEONE DESIRES TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN
Happy,
indeed, is the Pastor who is asked to talk with someone desiring to become a
Christian. Tell your Minister
about friends of yours who are interested in knowing more
about the Christian faith.
