So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." Colossians 2:6-7
I wrote for this blog on September 15, that we would be re-starting our previously suspended capital appeal in conjunction with our fall stewardship appeal, both with the theme, "100% for 100 Years" and both a part of our stewardship.
What is stewardship? It is All that we do, with ALL that we have, ALL the time. In stewardship, we completely reorient our lives toward God who calls us and loves us through Jesus Christ. It is all that we do after we say, "I believe."
While financial goals have been set for both the annual and the capital appeals, a more important emphasis is 100% participation of all members in recognition of God naming us stewards of everything on earth, and that is a place of high esteem and honor. Our giving is a response to God's blessings.
Over the next five weeks, you will hear and see more information on this important appeal in a variety of ways - newsletters, worship, mailings - that will tell the story of St. Luke's ministry over the past 97 years and our hopes & dreams for the next 100 years. You will hear the message from the pulpit, read stories and view videos from fellow members who believe in the ministry of this church and why it is important to them. The appeal will culminate on Celebration Sunday, November 1, 2020.
You will be asked to prayerfully consider your response to support of our ministry and financial goals.
