Stewardship Month

Your stewardship team has something special planned for every Sunday in October!

This creative team always comes up with a theme, complete with props, a song, and a skit.

The climax is Extravagant Generosity Sunday, October 27. You will have the opportunity to turn in your pledge card for 2025 during the service. After worship, a chili cook-off will be judged by Sandy H and Fred C (last year’s winner!) More details will come on how to participate.

Make plans now to attend all month!
