| Finding Your Spiritual GiftsWant help identifying your spiritual gifts? Try this online questionnaire developed by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).  A bar graph for twenty gift areas is created from the way you answer the questions. The site suggests that the three longest bars represent gifts that are important in your Christian ministry. After getting your scored results check out the printable version which has more information on each gift. You can also find other inventory lists by typing in "spiritual gifts" (include the quotes) in your internet search engine. Learn about the congregational resource guides purchased for Bethel's Gifts Ministry Initiative by searching on the author's name, Jean Trumbauer. As you begin to use your gifts, we anticipate four things happening: you will deepen your personal understanding of your call to Christian service; your tasks will become joyful ministries; you will feel more fulfilled and more deeply a part of the faith community, and the good of the church will be magnified. Blessings on your journey.
