Welcome!

November 8 is Stewardship Sunday

Each year Stewardship Sunday presents us with an opportunity to be reminded of everything that God has done for us, and the works accomplished with the help of our giving to the church. 

“Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
-Lamentations 3:22-23

Stewardship Sunday invites us to give thanks for what we have been given. God’s gifts allow us to live each day and take pleasure in God’s creations. Take a moment to breathe in and enjoy the fresh air. Watch the sun rise or set, the leaves fall, the first winter snow. Listen to the birds sing, the rain pour down, the laughter of children. Each of these things is a gift, one that too often is forgotten in the monotony of everyday life. 

In remembering and appreciating these gifts, we are reminded of God’s love and all that God has done for us. We are reminded to remain ever faithful.

November 8 represents a yearly reminder to consider what God has given to each of us, and how we can aid God’s work for and through others.  Take a moment to pray, meditate, and reflect on how you are able to support both the work of your church and also the work of others.  Consider how your giving might help those who have not come into the light and experienced all that God’s grace has to offer.

Lloyd Hamblin, Acting Treasurer and Associate General Secretary for Finance
