Throw in the Towel

I'm preaching a message this weekend titled throw in the towel on John 13. It's the passage where Jesus puts a towel around his waist and washes the disciple's feet. We really want to challenge NCCers to "get in the game" and start serving so we're turning the old aphorism--throw in the towel--on its head.

I don't know if other churches experience the same phenomenon, but we're always in desperate need of volunteers by the end of the summer! So we often do a motivational recruitment message right around labor day.
The idea for this message traces back to a prayer walk in Georgetown a couple weeks ago. I felt so impressed by the Holy Spirit that we aren't coming in as heroes. We're coming in as servants. And the towel is our symbol.
