Stewardship

Jesus invites us to go on a journey – we call it discipleship. It is a sojourn that is meant both to form us more into the image of Christ through the disciplines of study, worship, prayer, service, and generosity; as well as to strengthen us in becoming powerful agents for the good that God is doing in our world. In each of the gospels Jesus sends the disciples on a mission – the intent of which is, through their actions, to reveal the Realm of God. We know that in these gospels, the disciples represent each of us – the church. When Jesus speaks to them, he speaks to us. As they were sent, so are we.
This mission is about extending the blessing of health and wholeness to all of creation, because we are certain that this is ultimately what God desires. We are called to be a movement for wholeness in this world among its many fractured pieces. We are agents of grace, on a journey that makes known the generosity of God through our own practice of the same.

Our faithful financial stewardship is one way we work against the powers that harm and divide. Our generosity funds the mission and ministry that we are deploying as a sign that God’s Realm is among us. Our journey will include a Commitment Sunday as part of our worship on October 29, 2023 and a Reformation Sunday Celebration and luncheon following worship in our fellowship hall.

God has done and continues to do remarkable things through us and with us – things that matter in our community! Your prayers and your participation are keys to helping us advance further on the pathway of discipleship. Acts 2 reminds us that when the early church gathered, they did so with glad and generous hearts and that there was no need among them. We desire such a spirit of true community to be among us.
Thank you for walking together as a part of Canyon Hills Presbyterian Church.
