What Do You Most Appreciate About Our Church?
Why We Give
Stewardship & Generosity:
Paul encouraged generosity at all times: "Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity". (2 Corinthians 8:2)
Stewardship-to serve as one who manages another's property, finances or other affairs-is not just means for the church to raise money. It is a way of life that recognizes that everything we have is God's and we are simply managing those resources while here on earth.
The Bible is filled with examples of grateful response to God's generous gifts. The Bible also teaches about our personal responsibility to share with others and warns against selfishness and misuse of God's economic resources.
Methodist Approach To Stewardship:
John Wesley urged those in connection with him to "earn all you can and save all you can so that you can give all you can." He modeled modest living and sacrificial giving. Wesley made sure that those early classes of "methodists" took weekly offerings to help others in need.
Today, we, as United Methodists, join others to help all of God's children whenever and wherever we can. Just as Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes when the crowd grew hungry. Through our congregation, we are the heart, spirit and hands of God's outreaching love. Life grows here through the joy of generosity.
