Stewardship Is Heart Work

Why do I share a tithe and offering with St. Luke’s?


As a pastor, I will never ask anything of a member that I’m not willing to do myself. I serve, worship, invite others, participate in community, continue to learn and teach others, and give a tithe plus share additional offerings to the church – Simply What Every Christian Should Do.

My calendar for the upcoming weeks includes:

Service – Joining St. Luke’s to pack meals this Friday, 4:30 PM at the Chanhassen Feed My Starving Children. Contact Craig Brandt at craigbrandt_9@msn.com, if you would like to volunteer or click here to sign up.

Worship – Sunday at 8:30 and 10 AM. Beyond attending, I look forward to serving communion.

Evangelism – Inviting others to join St. Luke’s packing meals this Friday.

Community – Enjoying Wednesday Night Live Dinner at St. Luke’s, 5:30 PM. Suggested Donation: Free for children through Kindergarten. $3/for others. Max $10/family.

Stewardship – Turning in my completed 2023 Pledge and starting my next year’s increase this week. This includes identifying a ministry or activity to participate in each Core Value.

Discipleship – Learning from and teaching the Confirmation Students on Wednesday Night. Opportunities for all ages from 6-7 PM.

The question is why do I do this? Yes, I’m a pastor, but I would do this even if I wasn’t. My family finds that serving others, praising God, creating goodwill, having church friendships, being generous, and sharing faith together and with others, makes all the difference in life.
I encourage you click here to look at the ELCA, 10 Stewardship Principles. It speaks to how to live a generous life – giving a tithe and your life as an offering.

So I invite you to share Why do you share a tithe and offering with St. Luke’s?

Look forward to hearing your story in the comments.

Ongoing prayers and blessings, Rob

St. Luke's has always been a safe place for me. Safe to learn more about God, grow my faith, learn how to share my faith with others. I love the worship and the people that I;m in community with at St. Luke's!
