God’s Generosity

Grace is a church that has grown from meeting in a small lakeside cabin with lots of young children to a church that is close to capacity on Sunday mornings. We continue to have droves of children still hustle and bustle in our midst. Individuals and families join our church family regularly. God has been generous with us by giving us one another to face the challenges that come from such ample blessings.

As a church family we are called to respond to this as a unit. Our effort together will result in a second full-time staff person to minister to our growing family and a huge leap forward toward paying off our debt. This joint effort will have ripple effects felt in every ministry , including adult education, local missions, worship and Grace’s ability to connect with our community neighbors.

What Can I Do?

We would meet our goal in 3 years if:

• Each family that currently gives commits an additional $57 per week

  or

• If every member and family that attends regularly gives an additional $40 per week

  For some, this still feels like a stretch, but please know that any investment you make in your church family is a blessing not only for us today but for future generations at Grace Pres.

  The most important thing is to ask and answer these three questions:

  1. What has God given me?

  2. What needs are in front of me?

  3. What of my resources is God calling me to use to meet this need?

Our Response - Generosity

The response to give generously and willingly to God’s calling is seen throughout the Bible. This stewardship campaign has a particular financial goal, but it is ultimately aimed at God’s people following God’s leading. This is an opportunity to respond to God’s Generosity toward us by investing into the future of the Grace Pres church family, and as a way to joyfully respond to what God has continually done for Grace ARP. This is a sweet moment of opportunity for us to pitch in together to meet the challenges before us.
