‘As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies, in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ’ (1 Peter 4.10-11, ESV).
Just last November we put on an evangelistic concert at St. Helen’s. We try and do one of these concerts once a year. God has brought some professional musicians to us over the years, along with some music students, so it’s not a hard event to put on musically, because the players and singers can just perform some of the material they are working on at the time.
Evangelistic purpose
To make the evening more attractive to guests, we provide dinner in the interval, which is prepared and served by members of the church family. We charge a fee for dinner, otherwise the tickets are free, because the musicians very generously give up their precious Saturday night to serve.
