VERSE FOR REFLECTION – Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

As we prepare for 2023, our Fall Stewardship Focus will be on November 13 & 20. We will look at some Unexpected Heroes of the Bible and see how their giving and serving made a significant difference and touched the life of the church. November 20th will be our commitment Sunday. Each of us can be Unexpected Heroes in our community and in our church through our giving, our serving, our praying, our presence and our witness. Please be praying about how you will live out your faith through your commitment to our church in 2023.
