Small Steps Commitment Sunday

On June 6 we had the opportunity to offer our Small Steps to Stewardship pledge cards during worship. Options include promising to pray for the finances of the church, promise-giving for the first time, calculating the percentage of income our family is currently giving, increasing our current pledge, beginning to give through automatic withdrawal, or second mile giving to special mission projects such as the mission trip, Vacation Bible Camp, or supporting Conference Mission Shares.

Many thanks to Rosemary Herd and Kathy Brann for putting together our spring program which is leading into a new concept of year-round stewardship. The theme of our first year-round stewardship program is God's Covenant Rainbow. In the book of Genesis we learn of a man named Noah who took "small steps" of obedience which led to God using him to re-create from scratch the world gone awry with sin and offer the sign of the rainbow as a sign of God's covenant with Noah. In the weeks and months ahead we will be experiencing the rainbow of colors representing different ways we receive and pass along the blessings of God.
