If you have seen this week’s Moment with Mike, “bless your heart” for having to endure me towards the end of the segment. I asked if I could join him on this week’s segment to give a brief Stewardship Campaign update coupled with my appreciation.

The formal aspect of the 2020 Imagine Annual Stewardship Campaign concluded last Sunday. Over the last four weeks, our pastors and worship team knocked it out of the park. They shared their personal stories on giving and challenged us to think about how our relationship with money influences our stewardship.

If you were in The Gathering at 11:00 am a couple of weeks ago, you might have heard Rev. Lance Marshall specifically reference that I might faint when I heard him suggest that you could even give your tithe to another church.

If you have an extra picture of Andrew Jackson stuffed away in your wallet or coin purse, may I suggest you give him away this Sunday?

As we begin the fourth quarter and the seasons of Thanksgiving and Advent, we are asking for your awareness and assistance in finishing 2019 strong by successfully raising the dollars needed to fully fund our vital ministries for the remaining of the year.

As a former teacher, September always signaled a new beginning – new school year, new students, new opportunities for growth. September at First Church is the same way . . .

Because of your considerate and thoughtful gesture, reflections of God’s love and grace are playing out in countless ways:
Through a loving hug and whispered prayer in a hospital room, through the angel-like voices of our youngest singing during Faith Like a Child . . .

This last Monday was another one of my favorite days here at the church — first day of Vacation Bible School! The year’s fun theme is To Mars and Beyond.
