STEWARDSHIP AND BENEVOLENCE COMMITTEE

Brad Peffley, chair

 

This has been a challenging year for our church, but God is faithful, and so many of you have been faithful as well in continuing to give of your time, talent, and money. Our mission team would like to thank you for all you have given this past year, and to remind you of our responsibility as directed by God, to be good stewards of His gifts throughout the new year of 2008.

We ran a more low-key stewardship campaign this year by design. We know that there are those who do not feel comfortable with making pledges for your regular giving, but we hope you will continue to be faithful in supporting the ministry of our church so that we might glorify God in Christ by building disciples and meeting people’s needs.

As we evaluate our approach for 2008, we would appreciate your thoughts, ideas, and preferences in order to reach the proper balance of communicating our church’s needs without high pressure. Also, for anyone who would like to be a part of this mission team, we are looking for some additional members. Please let the office know of your interest.

We appreciate and look forward to your continuing support as you give of your time, talent, and money. God bless you and our church in 2008.

GOALS:

1. To provide a report to the congregation on benevolence giving on a regular basis.

2. To tithe 10% of the operating budget for mission each year (local, national, and world).

3. To have a Mission Team Fair.
