Our Servant Spotlight this month is on Bruce Thatcher. You have probably seen working outside around the church. What you don’t know is that some of Bruce’s best ministry happens around the community. Thank you Bruce for taking the love of Jesus to everyone you meet.
How do you serve in the church family and the community?
At the church: plow sidewalks, mow, and help with food trucks, occasionally play for first service
With the Masons: support We Care, give bikes away for reading books.
Bangor Community Fire Department: Board of Directors Alternate
Operation Injured Solider: help combat veterans by providing recreational therapy dealing with PTSD
Why do you serve?
Simply, it is very rewarding and then it snowballs. It’s a joyful experience.
What is your favorite part about serving?
Knowing that I am helping someone. I played my dulcimer for several people who were in their last hours of life and to see their finger move to the music and then squeeze my finger is a joy to me.
What have you learned from serving other?
God has chosen to help these veterans and I am fortunate that the choose my hands to do it.
What would you say to someone who is considering serving in a new way?
Why haven’t you started?
