“Everyone matters.” – pg.36 from Creating Magic
It sounds so simple and yet it’s very easy to feel like your position doesn’t matter in an organization. It’s also very easy for “top dogs” to treat the lower employees like they don’t matter. I’ve definitely been to my fair share of companies where you get the vibe from the employees that they don’t matter. What’s the reprucussion? The employee treats me like I don’t matter. I don’t go back to those places.
When it comes to those who serve in our church, I’ve had the perspective from the start that everyone matters. If the greeters aren’t on top of their game and welcoming people the way that they need to be welcomed, my job of teaching is going to be greatly hindered. They will be ticked that they walked in without a person saying a word and will already be shutting me out. They might give us grace 1 time but if they decided to come back and it happened again, we would never see them again.
My position isn’t so great that I could do everything all by myself. The fact that we have been able to establish this church in 2 years is due to a huge team of people committing themselves to our mission and doing their very best at whatever it is their doing. If that’s you, THANK YOU! You sweat, blood and tears make more of a difference than you will ever know!
