Spiritual Gifts

Have you gone on line to www.roscoeumc.org

and taken the spiritual gifts assessment yet?

God has gifted each of us with blessings to

use for His service. Have you wondered

what your gifts are? You may be surprised!

Visit www.roscoeumc.org, look for the link

on the right hand side of the page that says,

“Church Volunteer Central.” You will need

to enter your name and email and then pro-

ceed to the questions. It takes only a few

minutes of your time and the results are

immediate.

Our goal is to have everyone take the

assessment to discover their giftedness. If

you have questions or don’t have a comput-

er, call Lisa Abb. She has a written format

you can take instead!
