Stewards of Our Community
God made the Earth and put us on it with the
responsibility of caring for it to the best of our
ability.
As
Christians, we believe in following Jesus' teaching of
love and spreading His message using our time, talents,
and resources. Stewardship is the systematic giving to
glorify God and carry out the ministry of Christ both
locally and around the world.
Throughout the year our members contribute their time
and talents by serving as they are able: as church
school teachers, youth advisors, vocal and bell choir
members, committee members, helpers, and regular
attendees at worship services. Once a year, on
Consecration Sunday, our church family is asked to
consider God's generosity and to make a financial
commitment to support our church life, our building and
grounds, and our mission efforts for the coming year.
The biblical goal of tithing is encouraged, but each
individual must consider his or her own situation with
respect to thankfulness.
When we combine our time, talents and financial
resources, we can help advance God's kingdom on earth,
and respond to God in praise and thanksgiving for our
many blessings.
