We begin our Commitment Campaign for 2025 this week. Our series, Release God's Blessings, challenges us to rethink our understanding of blessings and what it means to be blessed. While it is true that God, by grace, freely gives us all that we have, we are not just passive recipients of God's blessings!

Just as God blesses us through people in our lives, so does God promise to bless others through us. When we live from a place of gratitude for God's gifts and trust in God's provision, we can be agents of God's blessings in our world.

Join us in worship these next 3 Sundays to consider our blessings and how we might bless others.

We will celebrate on November 24 Commitment Sunday. 

Thank you so much, everyone, for your generosity. We have enough funds to move forward with our immediate needs of replacing and upgrading these systems in the sanctuary.

We will share more information as we have it soon.

Join us for our monthly dinner worship service, At The Table, on November 13 from 5:30-7:00 p.m.

Church Hospitality plays a significant role in evangelism. When we all have a positive experience at church, whether at worship or any event in the building, we are more likely to share the experience with others. Word-of-mouth recommendations are powerful, but by each of us providing a warm and welcoming environment, we are creating opportunities for people to encounter the love of Christ. 

Consider:  How do you see yourself in helping our church be a place that is warm and welcoming?

This class will be offered Saturday, November 16, 8:45 a.m. - 1 p.m. in room 144.

In preparation for Sunday worship, we will provide 3 questions to consider ahead of time. You can use these in your own devotion time, in conversation with family and friends, or in a small group setting. We hope this will help you engage with the scriptural texts and sermon at a deeper faith level.

For November 10 worship:

• Sermon Title: A Legacy of Blessings -- I Know Who I Am

• Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:1-5

• Guiding Questions:

1. Our series is entitled, Releasing God's Blessings. What blessings do you see from God? Maybe they are blessings in your life, or in another situation.

2. In our scripture reading, Paul is writing to the church In Corinth. He mentions a bountiful gift they are offering. What would you consider to be a bountiful gift? Maybe it is the type of gift, maybe it is the size of the gift.

3. Paul also mentions that this bountiful gift ought to be given voluntarily "and not as an extortion." When have you felt pressured to give, make a donation, give an offering? How did that feel differently from a voluntary gift?

Please join us this Sunday as we begin our Stewardship sermon series: Releasing God's Blessings.  This Sunday's message is A Legacy of Blessings: I Know Who I Am. The scripture reading for this Sunday is 2 Corinthians 9:1-5.
