Stewardship Journey-Renewing Our Covenant
As we begin to focus on 2019, our members and our staff will be prayerfully considering plans, activities and programs in the life of our church.
As we embark on our stewardship journey during the months of October and November, it is my prayer that we renew the covenant that we pledged and the vows that we made when joining the United Methodist Church, “that we will faithfully participate in the ministries of the church by our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service and our witness.”
It is that covenant on which we will focus these next weeks.
For the next five Sundays there will be a “Covenant Moment” during the worship service, with members of the congregation sharing their thoughts about prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness.
This week our focus is on prayer. From “A Disciple’s Path,” our fall study,
“The primary purpose of prayer is to develop an intimate relationship with God, simply talking and listening to God, a time to share our joys, our fears, and challenges. As in any human relationship, we must create time for God in order for our relationship with Him to deepen.”
Please join me as we renew our covenant together with our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service and our witness.

Stewardship Chairman
