Re: My issue
houston,
If you like outreach, don't limit yourself to doing it through the church. There are TONS of opportunities you can involve yourself in. The other day I was searching for some things teenagers can be involved in (for Hannah), and I found:
* A local hospital that needs volunteers to sit with hospice patients.
* A local literacy program that trains volunteers and assigns them to students
There are boys and girls clubs you can volunteer with; hospitals that need volunteers; soup kitchens that need dishwashers; etc. If you're more interested in something involving evangelism, then start a weekly bible study group in your house.
If you are most fulfilled when you're serving, then by all means, look outside the church walls for opportunities to serve.
