Watch Pastor Mike Mather of Broadway United Methodist Church in Indianapolis tell how one of his congregations started asking different questions, discovered Adele’s gift and got “a lotta great food” as a bonus.

Then join the conversation and share your comments on these questions:
What are you doing to identify the gifts, skills, passion of people in your neighborhood or the people that you serve? What are you doing to connect people based on these gifts?
