Stewardship
Our theme for the
|
Stewardship is an interesting concept. Are we born with the desire to return to God a portion of what He has given us? Or is the desire to share with God and others a learned behavior? What truly motivates us to contribute time, talent, and treasure to St. John’s and to the broader community? I think about these questions frequently. Particularly when asked to do something new or something more. Another stewardship question to ponder - how does our inspiration and commitment change with our circumstances? Many factors could influence how we approach our stewardship responsibility. Our chronological maturity and our faith maturity are key factors. Our financial and familial well-being are also factors that affect how much time, talent, and treasure we are willing to share. Our stewardship campaign theme this year is “walk in love” a phrase taken from Ephesians 5:1-2. As you read the enews articles and hear the messages in church, please prayerfully consider:
We encounter stewardship opportunities every week. How will we respond to these opportunities this week, next week and into the future? Please return your commitment cards at any time between now and the end of the campaign on Nov 3. Randy Russell |
