The high priest and his brothers did not view themselves as too important to share in rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls (Ne 3:1)

Some prominent men refused to “lower themselves” to help with the repair work (Ne 3:5; w06 2/1 10 ¶1)

God-fearing women willingly shared in the physically demanding project (Ne 3:12; w19.10 23 ¶11)

Many tasks that must be performed in the congregation involve manual or menial work and may occur behind the scenes.​—w04 8/1 18 ¶16.

ASK YOURSELF, ‘How do I feel about performing such work for the sake of the good news?’​—1Co 9:23.
