IT’S THAT TIME!
Acts 20:35; Proverbs 16:3; Romans 12:6-8; 1 Corinthians 123:4-6
Yes, it’s Stewardship time. In the next few months you will be asked to pledge for the work of Sunset Hills and the Lord.
Stewardship means more than just giving (pledging). It also means giving of your time and talents. In many ways, these are just as important in God’s work.
Examine the call as Christ’s disciples (us) to use our time and talents for others. These two often intertwine. If you have a talent, you are asked to express and share it with others so that they may benefit from God’s blessings and this also takes time.
One of the things that make Sunset Hills so special, are its members. Each one giving of their time, talents and gifts. Sometimes all three.
Let us look back at this past summer and the music talents we enjoyed. Our own GPM; the talents of two of our young girls; soloists/duets; a visiting group from Southminster. We must remember each are using their talent to Praise the Lord.
Now let us look at the time many are giving which many times include talents. Monday Morning Marvels; Sunday/Church School teachers; Bible Study leaders; Session/Deacons; Adult/Youth Mission trips; Monday Mission; Harvest Festival; Women’s Retreat; Choir; Staff; VBS leaders; Fellowship Hour; Circle of Friends; Angel Network and many more. Just think of all the time, talent and people involved. These are all disciples of Christ as they go out to serve in their own way.
There’s a joke about joining Sunset Hills, “Be careful, someone will get you involved, (put you to work).” This is not to scare people but to bring them into our congregation as disciples of Christ.
Thanks to all our members, each and every one, for continuing in God’s work and sharing your Stewardship with our community and others. This is why Sunset Hills continues to be a part of those around us and disciples of Christ. Let us continue His work and spread the word through our works and deeds. Go and teach the Gospel.
