St. Stephen UMC MAGI:

Craftsmanship

Craftsmanship is the gift to design and/or build things which support ministry.

Use wood, cloth, paints, and other supplies to make things which enhance the effectiveness of other ministries.
Meet tangible needs by using assorted tools and manual skills.
May find that others see them as "handy" or "creative".

May perceive their gift as "unworthy" or "lowly" rather than a valuable contribution to the body of believers.
May focus on getting tasks done and ignore or run roughshod over people who need help in their spiritual growth.
May find it hard to remember that the things they make are tools in service to the Lord rather than the objective.

"Then the LORD said to Moses, 'See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts- to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship. ...Also I have given skill to all the craftsmen to make everything I have commanded you: the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony with the atonement cover on it.... They are to make them just as I commanded you.'" - Exodus 31:1-11
