“Joyfully learning, living, and sharing God's Word”

Stewardship is something we typically celebrate in the Fall every year. We have temple talks and are inspired by the personal testimonies. We evaluate and take a fresh look at how we use our talents and gifts. This is our tradition. But it is also important to note that stewardship is not a campaign or event. It is a spiritual practice.

Like all spiritual practices, stewardship cannot be considered seasonal or a one-time event. Within our congregation, stewardship is an ongoing commitment to spiritual growth and alignment to God’s call. Giving and serving are the practices that are the key to this discipleship, and love is it’s center. As the season of Advent begins, we see God’s love in the gift of Jesus. May God’s love transform us as we work, pray and wrestle with how to give and serve. Our commitment as developing stewards matters for our church and the world.

“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that liveth is born of God, and knoweth God.” ~ 1 John:4:7 KJV
