I started serving when I was in middle school, and I had my own sunday school class in early high school!

there is no official age for sunday school, but you should keep up with your father of confession, he knows what level you are at, and will guide you to the right direction.

but keep this passage close to you whenever you think of service,

“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.  If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—  where ‘ Their worm does not die  And the fire is not quenched.
 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched— where ‘ Their worm does not die
      And the fire is not quenched.’
 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire— where ‘ Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’
Tasteless Salt Is Worthless   
 “For everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another.”
I show you doubt, to prove that faith exists

A good question to ask yourself is what would the kids think if they saw me doing this...as Jimmy said, Service should be something that should require devotion everyday, not just on Sundays.
Praise Him and exalt Him above all forever.

Along with what Jimmy and Peter said: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEVMmRkeUII

My favorite sermon from my favorite priest for the servants.

Please watch it all.

Priesthood does that.  :(

Yeah.

Live the life of a priest for 24 hours, then try seven days.
I suspect by the time you get to hour 25, you will have lost 50% of your hair,
grown 50% gray hairs for the remaining, gained at least two diseases, lost contact with your family, and wondered where your car keys are to go look for the hospital where you will be praying on someone who is about to die.

Shall I go on?

I know to the minute and the second the pain of a priest's day.
