During the last several weeks we have thought, prayed, and reflected on what it means to be a Christian steward. Recognizing and receiving God’s gifts gratefully, cultivating those gifts, and sharing them lovingly and with justice. This is the final week of Prayers and Reflections. Please reflect upon the gifts that you have received from God and prayerfully discern how you can return them with increase. Let us be generous as we give out of gratitude for our blessings, returning to God in proportion to the blessings we have received, especially stewardship of treasure as it relates to The Next Chapter – Making Missionary Disciples Capital Campaign. In this way, our gifts take on spiritual significance and contribute to our sanctification.
