A Note from Senior Pastor, Rev. Heather Herrin Wong

Dear Friends,

We are halfway through our stewardship journey, from September 20-October 11. I know that none of us like to talk about money, but I hope you've heard by now that stewardship is not
just about money. For Christians, stewardship is about being responsible with everything that God has given to us. That means our lives, our relationships, all of creation, our possessions, our spiritual gifts, and our money. Sometimes we forget that generosity is a fruit of the Spirit, and just as much a spiritual practice as prayer, worship, and service are.

When you join a United Methodist Church, you are asked to support the local church with your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. As we go through this stewardship journey
together, I pray that each of us will keep that vow in mind so that we are ready to grow as disciples. I pray that this journey will equip all of us to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the
transformation of the world as we Welcome all; Equip with the Word; Uplift Christ; Minister to our neighbors near and far, and Change lives.

Peace,
Pastor Heather
