Stewardship 2025 – Imagine Together!
Something to Think About – Imagine Together!
As we move into the month of October, our worship focus moves from Prayer to Community. The theme for our annual stewardship campaign is “Imagine Together” and we will, indeed, seek to imagine what might be accomplished when we all come together for the sake of the Kingdom. Our biblical focus will be the Letter of James, which is about the Christian community coming together and experiencing the benefits of that togetherness. There are three (3) you can connect to our worship theme this month!
First, attend worship! Here is what you can expect in terms of scripture and worship themes each week:
- October 6 James 4:13 – 5:19 Pastor Michael
- Caring for one another is more valuable than earthly treasures
- October 13 James 3:1 – 4:12 Pastor Vicky
- We are called to encourage and build one another up with our words
- October 20 James 2:1 – 3:1 Pastor Michael
- We are called love all others, not just certain “others”
- October 27 James 1:1 – 1:27 Pastor Melinda
- Putting faith into action
Second, sign up to participate in a weekly bible study, led by Pastor Michael, on the Letter of James. We will read the entire letter and discuss significant portions of it. Everyone is welcome! Please sign up ( ) to a reserve a place. Due to Pastor Michael’s travel schedule, this class will not begin until mid-October. It will be held at the church, location TBD:
- Thursdays, 5:30 – 6:45 p.m.
- October 17, October 24, October 31, November 7
Finally, join us in a Daily Bible Reading project to begin Monday, October 7. We are asking everyone to read a few bible verses from the Letter of James five (5) days a week for four (4) weeks. If you keep up with the bible reading, you will be able to reflect on the same scripture we will have covered the preceding Sunday. We will be reading the Letter James “back to front” (meaning, we will begin with chapter 5 and end with chapter 1). This is the order we will be covering the material in worship on Sunday morning and we will say more about why that is this Sunday, October 6. A Daily Bible Reading pamphlet will be made available on October 6 to help instruct you on what verses to read on which days. Feel free to pick one up and follow along at home, during your own personal devotional time.
