Volunteer Profile: Greg Stone
Recently we have been celebrating the vibrant volunteer culture in our faith family. Some volunteers we see in up front positions. Some people serve very much behind the scenes. Some serve on a regular weekly basis, while others serve in big spurts for a season. However one serves, all are called to fulfill their purpose in a way that is both encouraging and an encouragement.
We asked a few of our volunteers to share some of their experiences, in hopes that we might better understand the heart of those who serve.
