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.
Gratitude and Joy
In Thessalonians 5:16-18 we are called to “Rejoice always, give thanks in all
circumstances”. Often we go through our days on automatic pilot, we might have a meal
out that is good, we tip our server and head out. We might smile at the cashier who was
very helpful then leave. There are so many interactions we have during the day that are
positive. Your mission of cultivating joy this week is to take note of the name of that
server, cashier, dental hygienist or mechanic etc and either call the business to let
management know how impressed you were or write an online review, mentioning the
first name of that individual. Consider how impactful this small thing could be both for
that business but also for that person who undoubtedly faces negativity on a daily basis
but is still striving to do a good job none the less.
