STEWARDSHIP APPEAL 2022

It is a chance for us to reflect on the opportunities that God has given us, to consider and 

 be thankful for the times that doors have been opened to us, and to take action to ensure opportunities for others.  

Questions and Answers

what are some of the ways that god has opened doors for us and how have we, in turn, opened doors for others? 

We were invited to become a part of this amazing and giving church community.

We have hosted Thanksgiving meals for many who wouldn't have one without us. 

We live in a community with freedom of thought and speech and opportunities of many kinds. 

We have continued to support Santa Cruz and local food pantries to feed those in need. 

We were blessed with those with tech skills to enable Peace to bring services into our homes. 

We collect small toys to encourage young students in their endeavors and reward their efforts. 

WHAT IS MY ROLE IN THIS APPEAL?

First, we ask you to reflect on and celebrate the many ways God has already blessed you with an ability to give! 

Consider the times that you have hand an opportunity presented to you - a door figuratively opened for you.  Reflect on your gratitude for that opportunity, the gratitude others will feel if you open doors for them, and the chain reaction it might bring.  

We ask you to pray and consider what God is inviting you to do.

HOW CAN I HELP ACHIEVE OUR MINISTRY GOAL?

Consider how God is inviting you to give financially from the heart.

Pray, reflect, and discuss with your family, the impact that you can make. For those who already tithe, we know you will continue!  For those who have not yet begun the habit, we would invite you to consider percentage giving.  Giving on a planned, percentage basis is a faithful way to respond to God's invitation to share your blessings.  It also helps us see the bigger picture of God's plans.

If percentage giving is not right for you, then pray and consider an increase to your current giving level (add 10%, for example.)

If you haven’t been giving at all or only occasionally, pray about your call to support this ministry.

What if I don't like making a financial commitment?

Even if you do not want to turn in a Giving Intentions Card, please fill it out for yourself.  Making a commitment of any kind is an act of love and a way of Opening Doors to future possibilities.
