2025 Stewardship Campaign
As we enter into this beautiful season of harvest, it is fitting that we reflect on the rich symbolism of sowing and reaping, which permeates both our faith and daily lives. The Apostle Paul speaks powerfully to this theme in his letter to the Corinthians, writing:
“They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.” For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. —2 Corinthians 9:9-10
With Stewardship season upon us, we are reminded through this Scripture that if we step forward in faith, God will produce "A Bountiful Harvest" among His children. Our Lord has proven time and time again that when we, God's faithful stewards, sow seeds of generosity, He will provide a great harvest of blessings, above and beyond what we can ask or imagine.
As the Body of Christ, our role in growing God's Kingdom is to sow, as we diligently tend the ground, and plant the seeds that God has entrusted to us. Throughout this Stewardship season, we will be presented with opportunities to consider how we can contribute to the mission that is before us in 2025. How can we invest our time, talents, and finances to fulfill His purpose for our church, our community, and beyond?
In the coming weeks, you will be receiving more information during Worship and through e-mail communication about making a financial pledge, the ministries we collectively contribute to, and ways to give. The Stewardship & Finance Committee asks you prayerfully to consider how your meaningful financial commitment allows the church to plan and execute our various education programs, outreach ministries, worship, fellowship, the upkeep of our facilities, and more.
May this season of harvest be a time of renewal for us all, as we reflect on the ways we can give back to God with joyful hearts, confident in His enduring goodness and love. We look forward to uniting with one another to witness the bountiful harvest God has in store for FPC Belmont next year and the years to come!
