Stewardship
 

FROM YOUR STEWARDSHIP COMMITTEE—

            We want to thank you for YOUR stewardship of God’s gifts—your time, talents, and financial resources--and the portions of these that you commit to God’s work.  At this time, we especially thank you for carefully considering how you have been blessed and making decisions on how you will share your gifts to support the work of our congregation and various country and world-wide ministries that we help support.

            Recently, you returned your “Plan for Giving” cards, which help greatly in preparing for the portions of our church work that require financial backing.  Many of you have also taken advantage of opportunities to volunteer time and talent.  Some have completed and dropped volunteer forms in the offering plate.  Others have checked out notices in the bulletins or newsletter or listened to announcements at worship and volunteered to help.  Names have appeared on hallway bulletin boards to volunteer to give back to God some of the time and talent that God has provided.                   

 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Your Stewardship Committee--Bill Goff, Ruth Fuller, Jon Nowland, Rick Jackson, Peter Petersilie, Natalie Hackbarth, John and Sylvia Allen  

 
 
   Using time, talents, & assets to...

·         Maintain the daily work of the congregation

·         Support outreach to the world and its people

·         Invest in the future with planned giving through wills, estates, and trusts

"All of Life" Stewardship

Merciful Father, we offer with joy and thanksgiving what you have first given us...our selves, our time, and our possessions, signs of your gracious love.

Sharing what God has given
Stewardship is the use and responsible management of what God has already given - time, talent, money, resources. The world is God's creation. As caretakers of that creation, we not only use resources but we share them with others. 

Free to risk what we value
Made in God's image, we have the capacity for being compassionate, loving, and wise. But we also have tendencies for selfishness, irresponsibility, and pride. 

The good news of the gospel rescues us from these tendencies. Its freeing power changes us. We are then able to reach out to others, risking who you are and what you value. Stewardship is actually an adventure of growth in Christ. It provides opportunities to assess what you are doing with the life that God has given you.

Jesus said, "One who finds one's life will lose it, and one who loses one's life for my sake will find it."

Reaching beyond
At Prince of Peace, outreach to the community and beyond are a top priority. While meeting church operating expenses is obviously important, our mission is to follow Jesus' example and respond to needs of the world. The emphasis should be on giving to God and others first, not just to the budget.

People have a need and desire to use their resources to help others. Prince of Peace’s activities and programs provide channels for people of all ages to use their talents and assets. Your gifts are the foundation upon which Prince of Peace’s and God's ministry is built.

Long  Range Stewardship

It would appear that God and the IRS agree on one thing - we can't take it with us. Therefore, it behooves us to leave it behind where it can do the most good.

Include Prince of Peace in your estate plan
 Prince of Peace has been serving members' spiritual needs since 1959. Looking to the future, we encourage members to include the church as beneficiaries in their estate plans.

Estate plans should reflect who you have become during your lifetime. In your financial planning it is natural to remember those who were important to you - families, charities, and Pilgrim. 

Long  Range Stewardship

·         Includes managing the accumulation of your lifetime of blessings 

·         Enables you to be part of the Prince of Peace’s ministries beyond your physical lifetime 

·         Enables Prince of Peace to plan more effectively for the future 

Opportunities and possibilities
There are many opportunities to serve people and God.

There are many possibilities for donating to Prince of Peace.

Speak with us about your interests.
