It is best to prepare the people for serving on ministry groups by doing the following:

• Communicate about the various ministry groups being offered by spelling out the responsibilities of each group, as noted above.
• Ask the people to pray about how they can serve.
• If possible, preach on service, or at least give some time as pastors to encouraging your people to serve in practical ways.
• Pass out a card on a Sunday morning asking for a response.

The card will allow people of age to check from one to three possible choices according to their gifts, talents, or desires. The elders will pick one of those areas of service from among their choices. In other words, each person will be assigned to only one practical ministry group after the elders review their cards.
