“It is love that motivates complete donation of self to God and others –
a self-emptying love patterned after Christ.”

Every member in the body of Christ is gifted and called into ministry. St. Paul reminds us that each person is blessed with gifts for ministry by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Baptism we celebrate the call of each person to ministry – ministry within the church community and ministry to the world.
