Stewardship
"Christian stewardship is the free and joyous activity of the child of God and God’s family, the church, in managing all of life and life’s resources for God’s purposes." Stewards “belong” to God and, as they mature, they seek out God’s will for their stewardship attitudes and practices. We Christians have not just been “saved from” but we have also been “saved for,” that is, saved for doing good works which honor God and bless others. Stewards support that work with their time, talents and resources as they are led by the Spirit.
Young at Heart
The Young at Heart is a group of Seniors that meet weekly on Thursdays at 1pm. This is a vibrant group that is always welcoming and caring. The group does service projects for the church office and preschool office. They share stories, celebrate birthdays, and they love a good game of cards to cap off their time of fellowship.
