A STEWARSHIP NOTE from Kellie Sanders
As members of the Body of Christ, we are called to be faithful stewards of all that God has entrusted to us—our time, our talents, and our financial resources. Stewardship is not just about giving; it is about responding to God’s abundant grace with grateful hearts. Every prayer offered, every skill shared, every gift given helps
strengthen our community of faith and extend Christ’s love to the world. In the ELCA we often say, “God’s work. Our hands.” Together, our hands become instruments of God’s mission—caring for neighbors, supporting ministries, and building up the church for today and for generations to come. Thank you for the many ways you live out this calling through your generosity and service.
