Stewardship Campaign

“We the Church” is the motto of our special season of reflection and then commitment regarding how we individually support the life of our community of faith.

Since God has given us everything that we have, it is important that we give back to God from everything that he has given. This balance in our giving is necessary so that the whole life of the church will thrive.

If you’ve not yet returned your pledge card to the church, please do so at your earliest convenience.

Theme: Advent Blessings

All month long our Youth will be learning what the Advent season is all about - Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. We'll talk about being blessed and blessing others. We'll have several opportunities to serve those in need as well as celebrate all God is doing.

Don't miss it!
