Stewardship Campaign 2026

Celebrating the Past 150 Years & Looking Forward to the Future

Dear Member, 

We hope you are feeling excited about Consecration Sunday and that you are planning to be with us for worship and for potluck lunch.  Our meal will immediately follow worship in the Fellowship Hall.

Our anniversary events and homecoming Sundays have been full of reminders of all the things our church and its members have done to share the good news with one another and the community around us both far and near.  

The stewardship campaign provides a time to invest in how God is using our church and its ministry to transform us and the world around us. The ministry committees can plan for the activities for 2026 when an estimate of giving is offered to aid the stewardship committee with initial budget projections.  This estimate-of-giving card and a time-and-talent card have been included with this letter and we encourage you to prayerfully consider how you will choose to share in the ongoing mission of your church from what God has provided for you.  

There will be a designated time in our worship on Sunday, September 7 to bring your cards forward to be blessed and to have your intentions blessed. As always, these cards represent our best estimates based on what we know at the present time. They can, at any time, be adjusted should circumstances change.

These last few weeks with the stewardship moments and homecoming celebrations have been enriching and our worship together has been inspiring. Now the decision to act on how we will allow God to use us and our resources for the good of the world is up to us. We remember what is at stake and what the possibilities are.

In celebration of Consecration Sunday, you are invited to attend and participate in putting together a true potluck meal in the Fellowship Hall following worship on September 7, 2025. 

 

See you Sunday!
