SALTY SERVANT:

Do you volunteer in the community?  We want to know! If you volunteer outside of your volunteerism for the church please share at  saltyservant@fumc-clermont.org.

What is a Salty Servant? :

The image of being a “salty servant” comes from Jesus in Matthew 5:13. 

“‘Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You’ve lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage.’” (The Message) 

Here is our working definition for a Salty Servant: 

A salty servant is someone who joins Jesus in service to persons outside their congregation for at least one hour during the previous week in one of four ways:             

• Hands-on mercy ministry alleviating the suffering of others; 

• Justice ministry addressing systems that cause suffering; 

• Earth-care as a steward of God’s creation; or

• Relationship building to ease the emotional or spiritual needs of others.

 *Please call the church office at 352-394-2412 if you would like to discuss any serving opportunity or if you have any questions.
