Stewardship Committee Mandate

In order to support the ministry of STEWARDSHIP, there shall be a Stewardship Committee.  Remembering God’s charge to care for His creation and return a tithe back to Him, this congregation shall endeavor to be responsible stewards over all that with which God has blessed its members.  This committee shall provide leadership cultivating faithful and effective practices of stewardship by all members of this congregation.  This committee shall be responsible for, but not limited to: devising means to encourage generous giving to the work of the church at home, in the Central States Synod, and throughout the church-wide organization of the ELCA, and throughout the world; provide for an on-going, year-around stewardship program with a yearly emphasis and opportunity for financial pledging; encourage members to give generously of their time and talents in order to provide the personnel for varied ministries of this congregation.

It's not too late to sign up for Simply Giving, an automated giving program to assist congregations and their members. For those who choose to participate, withdrawing the specific amounts from their bank account is truly giving the Biblical "first fruits." It also eliminates the minor frustrations of writing frequent checks or forgetting the checkbook. For the church, the advantages include having a consistent, predictable income, and seasonal fluctuations in giving patterns are lessened. Thrivent Financial offers this service at no charge to the church. Stickers are available that can be attached to your offertory envelopes if interested.

The plan is implemented by completing the enrollment form (available on the counter in the church office), attaching the appropriate bank information, and submitting it to the church office. Should you have questions, contact Cathy at the church office or Barb Fuller at 684-1935.
