I don’t know about you, but I have been having a lot of conversations with folks about what makes them come alive. In Lunch and Learn, we have also talked about passions of ours, something that I think goes hand in hand with this question of what brings us life.
Overwhelmingly, I have heard comments about a desire to serve, to make connections, to be hospitable, and to accompany others on their own discipleship journey. I love that those are ways our congregation comes alive!
As we end our stewardship series this Sunday (can you believe it!?), I was reminded by one member that conversations around stewardship don’t seem to be a bother here because you all see it for what it is- a way to share God’s love with the world. Through your gifts, we continue to grow in our generosity here in the community and beyond.
This is my ask for you, as I like to have all the information I can in decision-making processes: please fill out a pledge card. Kids and youth, if you feel so led, you’re welcome to fill out a pledge card as well! This will give the budgeting subcommittee the information we need to accurately plan for all areas of ministry in 2025. It provides us with the knowledge we need to help steward these resources well. You can fill out a digital pledge card at www.mumconline.com/give or drop a paper pledge card by the Partin Center during office hours.
Thank you for all the ways you give of your time, talents, gifts, service and presence here at Memorial!
With love,
Pastor Rachel
