Creative Arts Ministry

I have always felt that we are all put on this earth to serve using our various talents and abilities.  I have loved helping people my entire life.  Especially those I do not know. I feel I have a knack for certain computer programs and can be quite creative with crafty projects and gifts. If someone asked a favor, I rarely said no, no matter what was asked.  It is always comforting to hear that God feels this say way too. That we are here to serve others and him.  That we are all on the same level and no matter if it is your boss or your subordinate, you are to serve them the best way that you can.  I firmly believe this and I have done my best to live by this as well. The first opportunity to serve at the Church was as a greeter/usher/welcome desk/bulletin giver...but I just felt that my talents are greater than what these were offering and that I should see if there was something else I could do where I felt I was able to really get creative.  So when I heard about the Creative Arts Ministry, I was all for it.  My friend sings and although I love playing guitar/singing, I am not in any way ready to do it in public. There were other areas of the Creative Arts Ministry from sound to stage help to lighting.  I was up for whatever they threw at me, so I took the guidance of someone on the Ministry and signed up for Video Production.  This past Sunday, I served for my very first time.  I shot video of the entire early service.  It was much harder than I thought it was going to be. I wasn't sure what I was doing and how close I should focus on the people on stage. The Pastor walked from side to side so much that I was afraid that I was making people sick watching my camerawork.   I do know with all things, you have to start somewhere and learn.  I was just hoping I did a great job and I still pray that I did.  In a couple weeks, I will be doing the Media for the Creative Arts Ministry.  I am very scared!  I love slide shows and I consider myself to be a PowerPoint expert, but it seems to be a very important duty and I don't want to mess it up.  So please pray for me to have the aspiration and ability to do a great job!
