October 23, 2024 Weekly Update

Jared   -  

You were born to be generous! Our stewardship worship series began last week as we reflected on the truth that we are most alive when we live with gratitude and generosity. After all, we were created by a generous and loving God!

Several of you have mentioned that you are enjoying the short devotional emails you receive each morning. They are light and quick to read but offer a nurturing challenge each day on the themes of generosity, gratitude, prayer, and faith. If you haven’t started, you can catch up or just begin today! These devotionals are an intentional way for us to grow as a community of faith this time of year.

But here’s another way we can stretch ourselves and live into generosity! Last year our church had a small budget surplus. Our Board held that surplus to make sure we could pay for the sewer project in the spring. We used some of the surplus to fund the new chair lift to increase accessibility. Now, the Board is designating $3000 from that surplus to go toward our Treasure Fund Endowment. The Board challenges you to help match that $3000 so that we can reach $10,000 in the endowment by the end of 2024!

Our endowment is small, but our Board believes it will be an important tool to help us build a bridge to the future! You’ll hear more about how you can help the Generous Future Endowment Fundraiser this Sunday in worship! If you participate in church online, you can help, too!

See you this Sunday in person or online!

 

Blessings,
Pastor Jared
