Ministry is about gifts and needs.  We name and nurture the gifts God has given us; we place these gifts at the service of those in need. 

Ministries are many in number and find expression in the areas of worship, education, community, social justice, leadership, and evangelization.  A theology of ministry and service emphasizes that it is not so much that we do things for others but rather Jesus is doing something for others through us.   Being aware of the difference between "for" and "through" changes our whole manner of service.  That is why prayer is so important: it keeps reminding us that all stewardship is ultimately the work of the Lord taking place through the actions of faithful disciples.

Jesus came not to be served but to serve.  Through baptism and confirmation we are called to a life of commitment to the wounded of the world.  The Eucharist strengthens us in that mission and the Christian community hopefully supports us in our responsibilities.
