COMING NOV 22
STEWARDSHIP SUNDAY
You will be receiving a letter  next week.  Like last year, our Stewardship Campaign is low key. My message to you is a simple one: What you give is between you and God.  I challenge you to give a percentage of your income to the ministries of the church faithfully--regularly -- as a way of showing your gratitude to God for God's provision.  If you have been giving 5%, consider moving to 6%.  If God is asking you to tithe - to give 10% - I encourage you to say "yes". 
 
The leadership of the church is committed to using your tithes and offerings for ministry with wisdom and trustworthiness. Our only source of income is the generosity of her members.  And we appreciate whatever you do.  Trust God to provide - He will. 
 
That is the message. Told you it was simple.
 

So, put Nov 22 on your calendar and join us for Stewardship Sunday, for lunch, and for an amazing, joyous celebration of the ministries of Cason and the blessings of God. 

 
And, as always, I LOVE being your pastor,
