11/1/10 Yesterday, our Stewardship Committee met. We started with lunch and started coming together. We are planning a different kind of stewardship emphasis for 2011. We will be using the resource, "Enough: discovering joy through simplicity and generosity." So as you can see it is not about the budget; it is about helping people get out of the addictive cycle of wanting too much, spending too much, and getting into too much debt. Our committee gave me valuable counsel. It wasn't me telling them what we were going to do. It was me presenting some options and them presenting their opinions. As we talked, we also were placing stick-on messages to the back of the members' name tags that had our church vision statement and our vows as United Methodists--prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. We met for almost 2 hours, but the time flew by. We were a team working together.
Love,
Lynn
