“Taking the five loaves and two fish [given by the boy], he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all. And all ate and were filled; and they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. Those who had eaten the loaves numbered five thousand men [and their families].” – a story told about Jesus in the gospels written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John

What does the Stewardship Ministry do?

Our primary function is to provide the monetary support for the operation of the church body, and is carried out by running a pledge drive in the fall to determine what the budget will be for the next fiscal year (January-December). Additional functions are planned about twice a year to supplement our income. The Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer are both members of this ministry, as is the Nominating Committee whose function it is to match interests and talents of our congregation with opportunities to serve in our church mission.

How do I offer my talents to the congregation?

Either the Nominating Committee will ask if you would be willing to take on ministry responsibility, or, in most areas of committee work such as Social Justice, Community Outreach or whatever, simply go to the people involved and let them know that you wish to help.

How does my committee get a fundraiser approved?

In the interest of not bombarding the congregation with constant fundraisers in addition to our usual Neighbors in Need and One Great Hour of Sharing efforts, we ask that new projects be approved by the Stewardship Ministry and the pastor.

What do you like about serving on the Stewardship Ministry?

“I like it because it does offer people a straightforward way to participate in the life of the church and show their appreciation for what the church means to them.  I like having the chance to do something which is doable.”  - Fawn
