Because of God's Great Mercy stewardship program
“Because of God’s Great Mercy” is the title of our stewardship emphasis this year. The scriptural basis of this focus on our stewardship of all that God has entrusted into our care is I Peter 2:9, “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness and into his marvelous light.”
We begin by proclaiming all that God has done for us, hence the title “Because of God’s Great Mercy.” God has made us God’s own people. We will also consider how generous giving is an important part of every Christian’s life, and how our combined generosity can make even greater things possible through our congregation.
We will think together about how our giving to All Saints is an important part of our Christian faith, and how All Saints uses our offerings to do God’s work within the congregation’s walls, in our community, and around the world.
“Because of God’s Great Mercy” will ask you to do two things. First, you will be asked to increase your giving to All Saints by at least ½ of 1% of your household income. Second, you will be asked to consider using either an automatic bill payment through your bank or an automatic funds transfer program that All Saints already has in place for your giving.
“Because of God’s Great Mercy” will use mail, e-mail, and time in worship to share information with you. Please make a special effort to watch for material during this important time in our congregation’s life.
Expressing love and joy to others
This week we are celebrating Valentine’s day providing an opportunity to cultivate joy by focusing on God's expansive love, the church community, and acts of service, beyond just romantic love. Take time on Valentine’s Day and all throughout the week to share God’s love in acts of service, kindness, and generosity. Give blood this week. While not as romantic as a candlelight dinner, it is life-giving! Make and write a heartfelt sentiment to a loved one you have not seen in a great while. Decide to heal a broken friendship. Pamper yourself and enjoy the company of friends, male and female. Know that God loves and affirms you. God’s love for you is limitlessly unbound by space, time, or present circumstance. This love endures and will carry you through the whole of your life.
