This month Janice Cauvel is in our Servant Spotlight. If there are children or students around, your guess is that Janice isn’t too far away.
How do you serve in the church family and the community?
I serve the church in multiple areas of youth ministry between BSM, JAM and VBS. In the community? I am getting involved in the Bangor Apple Fest, and I also volunteer for March of Dimes.
Why do you serve?
I serve because I enjoy being around people and working towards a common goal whether it be helping children grow in the Lord or helping communities raise money to help others within the community.
What is your favorite part about serving?
I love being around the children of this community/church and seeing them grow in their spiritual walk and in their personal walk for themselves. We learn about God and ourselves in BSM. We also have a lot of fun times.
What have you learned from serving other?
I have learned that I need them as much as they need me to be in their lives and the love that flows is unconditional. I have also learned that the youth are starving for knowledge about God and that they also enjoy the times that we have at BSM.
What would you say to someone who is considering serving in a new way?
I would say "Jump"! Thats what I did. I prayed to God asking what my next step was to get more involved in the church and the offers keep coming. I love being at the church and amongst the people/youth there. It will be the most rewarding thing that you can do for yourself and others. When you serve.. you grow in the Lord, you grow in your prayer life and you grow closer to others in the community/church with a special bond that is brought together by love and the love of the Lord. We have a lot of wonderful lessons AND a lot of fun at BSM. Our numbers are growing and I look forward to seeing where it will take our youth in their life walk and their walk with the Lord.
