Daily Devotions
“Lord, Is It I?”
“As they were at table eating, Jesus said, Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me. They began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one after another, “Is it I?’”
Have you ever considered what was going through the disciples’ minds as they sat with Jesus for what were their last few hours together? In a rented or borrowed upper room, the group gathered to enjoy the annual Passover dinner. But this meal would be very different from any they had ever participated in before. Jesus, their master, takes on the role of a servant and washes the feet of His followers. more >
Creation Calls
Who is God? Can we know Him? If we gaze on the world around us can’t we not see the glory of the sky and the birds that fly? What about the majestic height of a cloud covered mountain and the lake surrounded by hills so green with grass and floweringtrees? Who made all these? Who ordered the rising of the sun and its setting? The regularity of days and seasons? What about the life that exists in this world?
One possible answer is that a Supreme Creator made all these things…and we call Him, God. When I see all the wonders of His creation I can’t help but believe. Yes, by faith… I believe.
What do Stewardship and Thanksgiving have in common?
A few hundred years ago, immigrants to this land from England, thankful for surviving their first year, with the help of the natives, held a feast. Today, we commemorate that feast with a holiday called thanksgiving.
There is another tradition, if you will, that also has to do with thanksgiving and sharing, it has its root in the Bible and it’s celebrated by churches around the world, usually on a Sunday in the month of November. This celebration is call Stewardship Sunday. Now, you might ask, what do Stewardship Sunday and Thanksgiving have in common? The common denominator here is thankfulness for all that God has bestowed upon us. We show our thankfulness by the sharing of our bounty.
Our church is one of the places that we share with, for lights, heat and a place to worship free from persecution which cannot be had if we didn’t give back a portion from what has been given us. Charitable contributions, both monetary and your time are excellent examples of stewardship in action. So are the voices that emanate from our choir loft.
In addition to the other elements of stewardship, talents and money, the third is time. Our boards are always in need of committed members willing to give of their time to serve our Church. Prayerfully contemplate how you will share of your bounty.
On Behalf of the Finance Trustees,
