Celebrate Generosity
This past year-and-a-half has had its ups and downs. We have walked through valleys and hopefully we have spent some time on the mountaintop as well. We don’t know exactly what the future holds, but we do know that God will be with us no matter what might come our way. That is why we can continue to move forward in faith, stewarding all that God has given to us.
From the beginning of time God has asked his people to be stewards. Genesis 2:16 says Adam was to “work the land and take care of it.” He was to steward the gift God had given to him. To be a steward is to be responsible, to supervise or
to manage.
We recognize that stewardship is about more than just stewarding our financial resources. We are hoping that as we move into 2022 we will also be able to provide opportunities for you to share and steward your gifts, talents and passions within our own church and our community as well.
The staffing plan that was adopted by our Elders, in January, is nearing completion and your financial generosity has allowed that to happen. We hope to hire a Pastor for Outreach and Engagement (the position formerly held by Rev Mike Sedgwick) in the upcoming months and this will help us to finalize our pastoral team.
This congregation has blessed so many people and ministries, since it was begun in 1905, and we continue to look forward to blessing many more people as we move into 2022.
As we look to a new year, we would encourage you to spend some time in the next week to pray about how you might be able to financially support the ongoing mission of La Jolla Presbyterian Church. You can fill out the attached estimate of giving card and mail it back to the church, or you can download the attached PDF and send it in.
