Our annual focus on stewardship begins again this month. Our stewardship is a constant mission of prayer and witness that responds to God’s call. Please take a look at Reverend Jane’s stewardship letter and the pledge campaign prayer and reflection resource. We hope you will take the time to listen and pray through the More than Enough invitation before the pledge forms arrive in a few weeks. Our ingathering Sunday is November 27th, when we will celebrate that there is always more than enough to bless us with the resources we share to continue to transform lives in Jesus’ name.
