What Ministries are you doing that aren't sexy

When I was a teenager I wanted to be in the youth group worship band. Every week I would come, listen to other people play and imagine what I would do differently when if I was playing. Being in the worship band was sexy [and being the worship leader was the sexiest position of all]. In fact many people seam to enjoy being in "the band" and it does seam like one of the ministries within a traditional church that there is never a problem filling.

For other people Sexy ministries may be Preaching,  running a traditional EC model service, and certain positions in youthwork [usually the same as mentioned above] pretty much any that make you famous, give you power or influence or put you anywhere near money.

Now there is nothing wrong with Sexy positions, it's just everyone wants them...and that's the problem.

In my parents church the 14-18 year olds has plenty of volunteers, but the more difficult 11-14 has far too few. Many people state why they want to volunteer for 14-18 as that is the age that you can really see the difference being made in the lives of young people.

You can see what they are getting out of it, Its sexier. [my paraphrase]

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,because the Lord has anointed meto proclaim good news to the poor.He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,to proclaim freedom for the captivesand release from darkness for the prisoners,t2 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favorand the day of vengeance of our God,to comfort all who mourn, 

What sort of ministries in churches really look like these ideas?

I don't know about you but the kingdom of heaven doesn't look very sexy to me. Comforting mourners get's pretty messy and usually there is a lot of snot.
Going into prisons for prisoner reform schemes can look very sexy if it makes the front page of the church bulletin [once a year] but for the 364 days is just hard work, which few people see and even fewer volunteer for.
Good news for the poor may have become more popular in the post live aid celebraty charity culture but the biggest issues for charities isn't giving money, [giving loads of money can even make Bill Gates super nerd extrawdinar sexy] but giving time isn't sexy at all.

• It's not sexy to sit at a desk and stuff envelopes
• It's not sexy to call people to ask if you can do something [it's even less sexy when they say no]
• it's not sexy to meet up with a loser, talk about things you don't like and make them happy.

no one notices these things and yet these things are so important.

So I ask you...what unsexy things are you doing?
