In gratitude to God, empowered by the Spirit, we strive to serve Christ in our daily tasks and to live holy and joyful lives. God’s grace through Jesus Christ is a transformational gift in a person’s life and journey of faith. This gift compels us to give back to God, which is the way we say, “Thank you.” Our thank you to God comes through the prayers, gifts and actions of each of us and all of us. As members of a connectional church, Presbyterians express their collective gratitude to God through our congregation’s mission efforts. Together we are stronger; together we make a lasting impact. Our Fall Stewardship Campaign will begin November 3rd. We will be talking to you about stewardship in November with the campaign culminating on Stewardship Dedication on Sunday November 17th. Stewardship is how we use our God-given gifts; it is how we use our talents, our time and our finances to carry on Christ’s work in the world. Stewardship is how we live out our life as followers of Jesus Christ. 2025 Pledge cards will be available on Sunday November 3rd.
