MARCH 2010
Greetings:
What is stewardship?
It is the offering of
your gifts to the glory of God. It is a lifestyle.
What kind of gifts?
Time - Talent - Treasure
As has been previously
noted last year the stewardship of Treasure far exceeded what we
had budgeted. Congregational stewardship of treasure was one of
the prime reasons we closed the budget gap from $25,000 to
$8,000. THANK YOU!
There was also an
increase in the stewardship of time and talent which meant
several things:
 We
reduced expenses
We
continued our ministry of music, education, worship and
compassion
We
began a prayer shawl ministry
We
had a float in the July 4th parade
Again, THANK YOU!
As you know our Lenten
journey will focus on the question Where In The World Is God? To
answer this question we also need to focus on an equally
important question, Where Am I In God’s World?
In other words how do you
fit into the world of God? How can you give yourself over more
readily to God?
It has been said, too
often with a critical tone, the church is only out for your
money. That is only partially true. The church wants your time
and your talent. Gratefully surrendering your time, talent and
treasure from the heart is the only way you can love God with
ALL your heart, soul, mind and strength.
Our check books and
calendar are the best barometer of our commitment to God and His
church.
As we look forward to the
ministries God is calling YOUR church to do will require
stewardship of time, talent and treasure. Prayerfully seek God’s
guidance, asking Him to reveal to you what ministry you should
offer your time and talent.
