Stewardship Thought – Generosity Helps Free Us From the Dangers of Money: The Pull of Greed
Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?” And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” (Luke 12:13-15). For your prayer & devotion time: Why do you think greed is such a powerful force?
Giving Goal Update If you’ve been following our monthly Giving Goals, you’ve noticed we have missed our goal in several months of FY2022. In fact, we are on pace to finish the fiscal year with general fund giving totaling $2,039,000. Our approved Mission & Ministry Spending Plan anticipated a total of $2,245,000. We have had a tremendous response to the Master’s Plan to build Phase V – Praise the Lord! At the same time it is important we remember our giving to the General Fund is critical to the day-to-day operations of Christ Lutheran Church & Education Center as these dollars pay for ministry programs as well as utilities, cleaning, insurance, maintenance of our HVAC systems and regular repairs around the building. We have another opportunity to respond in faith and return a portion of God’s blessings to Him. The Congregational Leadership Team, Elders and Executive Ministry Team are all prayerfully considering an increase in their tithes and offerings. If you are able to make an additional contribution to the General Fund, please do so today as this helps us to stay strong operationally.
