Your Personal Stewardship Commitments |
September 13, 2021
Greetings to you, Sisters and Brothers:
What a challenging and opportune time to be the church! The COVID pandemic interrupted our normal routines, to say the least, but has also opened us to new possibilities of ministry. Over the next four weeks, we will celebrate God’s faithfulness in the past, present, and future. You will be asked to reflect upon God’s faithfulness in our community life, pray for God’s guidance and then, on October 10-11, make an estimate of your financial as well as time & talents offerings for the New Year. God honors us to join in God’s faithful mission.
Week One – September 19-20 God’s Faithfulness in Former Years
Week Two – September 26-27 God’s Faithfulness in Recent Years
Week Three – October 3-4 God’s Faithfulness in Pandemic Years
Week Four – October 10-11 God’s Faithfulness in Future Years
On October 10-11 we will receive your financial estimates of giving and offerings of time & talent for the New Year, realizing that we are STILL IMMANUEL as well as BECOMING IMMANUEL. We will place our estimates upon the altar as offering and witness of our trust in God’s faithfulness. Also plan on the free CELEBRATION LUNCH on Sunday, October 10, at 11:45 am in the Fellowship Hall. (EMAIL YOUR RSVP HERE) There’ll be good food, great conversation, and even a hymn sing praising God’s faithfulness. Please RSVP online or at worship.
Our congregation’s ministry is important and deserves our prayers, participation, and our financial support. Thank you for your faithfulness in the past! God’s Spirit invites each of us to increase our involvement, our giving, and together do the vital ministry of Jesus Christ. Will you now take a further step into stewarding God’s Word Lighting the Way with Immanuel by prayerfully considering “Questions and Answers About Our Stewardship Work Together” and completing the “Estimate of Giving” and “Offering of Time & Talent” forms? This Growth Giving Challenge worksheet can be a helpful tool in your prayerful planning. This is a sign of your personal consecration and is a joyful witness of our faith.
You may use the following hyperlink buttons for online forms that submit your responses directly to the church office.
