Our property is a place from which we are sent to the world. It is a place in which we worship and educate. It provides a resource we can share with our community. It should not be a substitute for our mission, but it does support our mission.

Jesus once said, “As you have done to the least of these my brothers and sisters, you have done to me.” This means that Jesus is present in the least of these and, since it is important for the church to follow its Lord, we should be among the least of these.

Stewardship is a “Spirit-driven” use of our time and money. It does not merely pertain to the life of the congregation, but it applies to all aspects of our lives. It involves serious reflection on how we use our time and talents as disciples and it involves how the whole congregation employs its time and money. Stewardship focuses on growing disciples! The Stewardship Committee will:
-
Promote stewardship education in the congregation;
-
Create a "no fear" climate for talking about stewardship;
-
Communicate needed/available talents for St. John's ministries;
-
Conduct a fall stewardship program (talents and pledges);
-
Communicate stewardship results to congregation annually.

And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:8)
There are many needs in God's creation and many ways that we can each contribute our time, talents, and treasures. Look around-there are opportunities everywhere! As a congregation and as individuals, we are blessed to be able to share all that we have. A St. John's mission is to ncourage members to share with those in need and St. John's offers opportunities to share. |
