Stewardship

March 19, 2010

Open Hearts, Open Hands 2010 is the fourth cycle of stewardship programs since we engaged Ben Harder for Faithful God, Faithful Stewards in 2001. We have been following Ben’s protocol for a “campaign” every three years. Each time, following input from the congregation, our Council sets priorities for the next three years and the Stewardship committee manages the 5 month program.

Following are Church Council's goals for the next 3 years:

1) Increase the involvement of youth and young families through enhancement of current programming

2) Enhancing our sanctuary and worship experience through seating, audio-visual equipment, window blinds, etc

3) Establishing a "Newcomer Welcoming" Program

4) Greening’ the church building and practices for both ecological and economical reasons, beginning with an environmental audit

5) Visible sponsorship of a community event such as hosting or sponsoring a community supper for those in need

As of March 22 most of the families in our church will have had a chance to be visited either individually or at the church. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO VOLUNTEERED TO MAKE THE VISITS HAPPEN! If you were not visited and would like someone to visit you, please contact one of the committee below!

Be ready for your phone invitation to one of our POT LUCK SUPPERS on April 24 or April 25! Someone will be calling you to confirm your attendance!
