serve

Everyone in the church family has a part to play. Jesus served the world by showing love to the unlovable, meeting the practical needs of the needy, and sharing God's grace to the lost. He came to serve. As imitators of Jesus Christ, we also serve.

There are ways to intentionally serve one another at Dripping Springs Methodist Church.

COMMUNION SERVER

Communion is one of the last blessings that Jesus gave to His disciples at the Last Supper. It is part of what defines us as Christians. Communion is a very special time of reflection, prayer, and oneness with God. A time to remember God's love for us. Our Traditional and Spanish Worship Services serve communion every week, and the Contemporary Service serves communion on the first Sunday of the month. No need to worry about what to say, the words are on the screen, and we are here to help and train you. This is one of the greatest servant honors you may experience.

HOSPITALITY

Hospitality is a wonderful way for those new to the church or with a busy schedule, to connect with the needs of the church and the community. The Hospitality committee at DS Methodist Church hosts receptions (light meals, snacks or desserts) to those in our church family and community as they experience the joys and hardships of life. Your commitment can be as simple as dropping off a requested food item, or helping with setup and cleanup.
