Letter from the Stewardship Committee
“Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above…” James 1:17, NRSV
September 9, 2021
Dear Friend,
As we begin our Stewardship year, our theme is “Every Perfect Gift”, which highlights all the ways in which we have been blessed by God and how that inspires us to give back to our neighbors, our church, and the world. In our message to you, we want to focus on our gifts of treasure; the financial gifts that we make to the operation and maintenance of our church and to support our missions in the church, our community, and the world.
This year has been so different from other years in terms of what has been asked of us as individuals, and as the church. We know that some of you are struggling with different issues that make it hard. We know that God is what keeps us together and provides the consistency in a shifting world.
Every dollar that we raise has a face behind it, a story, a purpose, a mission! We use our financial gifts to serve God, to care for each other, and to show our love for our church, our community and the world.
If you are ever in doubt about the impact of your giving, look about you. No matter how we have experienced church this year, in-person or through Facebook Live, every person you see is part of the story of your giving. Consider how your Perfect Gift will impact others.
We invite you to receive this with grace and prayer as you consider how you will share your Perfect Gift with God.
Please return either the white (pledge) or blue (one time gift) card to church by October 17, 2021.
