What holds your church up is rarely what you see.
Polish does not make a beautiful piece of furniture strong. It’s made strong by joints nobody notices.
Churches are the same.
Not everyone carrying the weight stands on a platform.
Some pray; some visit; some clean; some give quietly; some stay late and ask for nothing.
They may never be called the face of the church. But take them out, and you feel the crack!
Jesus noticed people everyone else walked past.
The Carpenter’s Way: Honour hidden faithfulness
What nobody sees often holds everything together. 1 Corinthians 12:22–24
