Living Each Day as a Steward is a three-week stewardship program starting May 1st, May 8th, and May 15th, emphasizing the three themes of:
A Steward’s Identity (May 1st). We don’t really want to be stewards. Our first impulse is that we want to be the owners. We want to have possession of things. We want to be important, to be respected, and even to be envied. That’s not how it works, though. God owns everything, “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof…” (Psalm 24:1).
A Steward’s Purpose (May 8th). King David wrote, “The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me” (Psalm 138:8). Just as God had a purpose for David, so he has for us as well. Have we given much thought to what purpose God may have for your life? By grace, we understand that we were created for God’s purpose, not ours.
A Steward’s Lifestyle May 15th). When God’s grace and love fill our hearts and minds, our stewardship is not limited to specific acts, but, instead, becomes a lifestyle. With transformed hearts, we express our faith in the way we live our lives. Through faith, God provides motivation and power to live the Christian life is a growing awareness of redeeming grace.
During these three weeks, we will become better stewards of our time, talents, and treasurer through:
Recognizing members in our church for their faithful stewardship.
Thanking our members for their faithfulness as God’s stewards.
Encouraging our members to become more involved by using their time and talents in service within your church.
Growing in our understanding of what God wants us to be and do as faithful stewards by spending time in the Word.
Giving the first part of our incomes generously and cheerfully.
Praying to thank God for the grace that calls and enables God’s people to live each day as stewards.
Telling our members about the mission and ministry of BUMC.
Living Each Day as a Steward!
