Stewardship Update to Congregation: Sunday, September 24 & Sunday, October 29 after church
“Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7)
Dear Community of Hope family,
At our mid-summer church meeting and update in July, we talked about having a stewardship emphasis in the fall, sharing about ways we can give to God through our time, talents, and treasure.
We have two focused times in the fall where we will present ideas and have discussion about our church and ways we can work together to be good stewards of all God has given us. All are welcome to the presentations immediately after worship on Sunday, September 24 or Sunday, October 29. Both presentations will be similar, so choose a date that works for you.
Also, on Sunday, October 8, we will have a special presentation after worship by Robin Welch of Thrivent Financial, who will share various creative ways to give, some of which have positive tax benefits.
Thank you for your prayers and participation in the ministry of Community of Hope. God is faithful!
Together with you, serving our Lord Jesus,
Pastor John Foss and the Stewardship Team
