Week 34: Finding Joy in Service

“Serve the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.” – Psalm 100:2 (CSB)

Service is not a burden but a privilege and an act of worship. When we serve with joy, we reflect the gladness of knowing Christ and the gratitude for all He has done. Joyful service inspires others, uplifts the team, and reminds us why we do what we do—to glorify God and draw others closer to Him.

This week, let’s focus on finding and expressing joy in our service, even in the smallest tasks.

For musicians, finding joy in service means focusing on the privilege of leading others in worship rather than on the pressures of performance. Let your music be an expression of your joy in the Lord, and let that joy flow into the congregation.

For the tech team, joy in service might look like embracing your role with a positive attitude, finding satisfaction in a well-executed service, and knowing that your work helps others encounter God. Your joy is contagious and can encourage the entire team.

  1. Personal Reflection: Spend time in prayer thanking God for the joy of serving in your role.

  2. Team Reflection: Share what brings you joy in your role and encourage teammates to do the same.

  3. Sunday Preparation: Serve on Sunday with a smile and a heart full of joy, focusing on the privilege of serving God and His people.
