VOLUNTEERING.

Besides making one feel good, volunteering can provide many positive effects physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It presents opportunities to showcase your talents, meet new people, spread joy to others, and fill you with a sense of "worth," all while making a difference. It's also a wonderful way to serve God by serving others; for as Christ said, "Whatever you do unto the least of my brethren, you've done it to me." So get involved and ask your priest what you can do to help. There are always lonely people who could use a visit, shut-in who need groceries or house and yard work, and there are many project around the church that you could also do. Remember, taking care of the Lord's House, be it only to clean the floor, is a noble work in the sight of God.
