WORSHIP WITH US

Stewardship Sermon Series

It may not be a topic for polite dinner conversation, but the Bible has a lot to say about money and our relationship to it. In addition to scripture, individuals and communities are shaped by the “money stories” that invoke fear, trust, wisdom, confusion, generosity, and wholeness. During our fall stewardship series, we will explore Old and New Testament texts that move us to deep and honest engagement with the ways we practice, or fail to practice, faithful stewardship. Join us Sunday mornings at 9 AM in the sanctuary.

October 8 - Remember

October 15 - Release

October 22 - Reimagine

October 29 - Restore

If you miss a week, you can view past sermons from this series HERE.
