Philippians 4:21

"Greet every saint in Christ Jesus" the brethren who are with me greet you.

• They were the example, as are we.

4:21 is a ministry within a ministry that gives students the opportunity to serve one another. Serving one another by giving out the same things we ourselves would like to receive. "For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all that I might win the more."

Practically:

• Greeting new students
• Passing out bulletins, flyers, new student cards, Bibles etc.
• Inviting new and regular students to join in pre-service games
• Being aware of students’ needs and praying for them
• Inviting students to sit with you
• Pre-service prayer
• Service opportunity outside of Velocity
• 4:21 fun events
