Stewardship Update Print E-mail

What?
Stewardship 2011 Already?
Say it Ain't So!

Yes, it is so. Because of a struggling economy and challenging times for many of us, we are improving our stewardship process by starting our planning earlier.

Here's where you can help. We are forming five subcommittees as an extension of the stewardship committee. The goal is to break down many roles and activities into "skill-focused" areas.

Please consider if you have the skills and interest to assist any of these subcommittees. Click here to learn how you can help.

I'd like to start off by telling you a little story I recently read in the Anglican Digest. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal they lay down for the night and went to sleep. Some hours later Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend. Holmes said, "Watson, look up and tell me what you see." Watson said, "I see a fantastic panorama of countless stars." ...

So with that in mind I intend to give some very practical advice on how to behave at a dinner party, so as to avoid embarrassment. It's simply a matter of choosing the right seat...

Well I can report three sure signs that fall is approaching fast. One, I got to watch about two minutes of a very bad pre-season football game last night. Two, the acolytes were comparing the upcoming school schedules they had received this week with varying degrees of enthusiasm and dread. And three, as you passed through the narthex you probably noticed there were many opportunities to sign up for things...

It sure has been a hot summer so far. We've been hitting the triple-digit numbers on more than one occasion. Even across the world it's been very hot too. So I guess it seems rather appropriate that in this morning's gospel, we see Jesus turning up the heat as well. Jesus says, "I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled..."
