November Stewardship Message

Honoring God Through Faithful Giving
Proverbs 3:9-10 reminds us to honor the Lord with our wealth and with the first fruits of all our increase. True stewardship begins with recognizing that everything we have comes from God. When we give faithfully and put Him first in our finances, we demonstrate our gratitude, obedience, and trust in His provision. God calls us to give with willing hearts, knowing that He is faithful to provide for our needs. May our giving reflect a commitment to honor God first, trusting Him to bless and guide all that we have.

Stewardship Committee:
Alana Frett, Joanne Thomas, Fay Rhoden-Barrett, and Sheila Williams
