Stewardship

Promises
You've probably been at a wedding
and witnessed the exchange of rings.
This is an important part of the
service, because those rings signify
the promise the couple makes. They
help the husband and wife to
remember that they have promised to
be faithful to one another till death.
As we know, sometimes that promise
is not kept and marriages fail.
God has given us promises, too, and
signs of His promises. When you see
a rainbow, do you remember that
God first placed it in the sky as a sign
of a promise? (See Genesis 9:12-17)
When you think back to your baptism
and consider the water that was
sprinkled on you, or when you take
the bread and wine in Communion, do
you remember that God uses these
everyday elements to remind us of His
promise of forgiveness and eternal
life? (See Matthew 26:26-28)
We are reminded of the greatest
promise God has given when we look
at the cross. At the very beginning,
God gave the promise of a Savior to
Adam and Eve. Throughout Scripture
that promise is repeated. Because
God gave His Son, because Jesus was
obedient to His Father, we have
forgiveness of sins and life forever in
Heaven with Him.
God is always faithful to His Word.
Not one promise has He broken.
Because of His faithfulness, we can be
faithful too. When He calls us to
donate our time, to share our talents,
to give of our money, He is faithful to
provide a way for us to do that. If we
put Him first, there will always be
time to do whatever He asks us to
do – to spend time in His Word and
prayer, to participate in worship and
Bible study, to help others in any
way we can. If we feel inadequate
for a task or responsibility, we can
rely on God's strength and confi-
dence to enable us to carry out
whatever He's put in our lives to do.
If we give to God first, before we
spend money on ourselves, He will
make sure we always have enough.
Yes, God is faithful, and the best
part is that He is faithful even when
we aren't. When we don't keep the
promises we've made, when we are
selfish with our time or gifts, when
we stubbornly go our own ways,
God is faithful to forgive. Jesus lived
the perfect life in our places and
won our forgiveness on the Cross of
Calvary. He promised He would,
and He did it.
Blessings on your stewardship
journey!

Thank you, Vern Black for repairing some of kitchen stools.
Thank you, Vern Black, Bill Sellner and Dale Ross for your tireless efforts.
Thank you, Pat Kastning for replacing pans, knives, towels, etc. in the kitchen and making the extra effort
in so many areas.
The “Kitchen Cleaners”: Joann Loewen (who never stops), Karen Sellner, Lavonne Keske, Marilyn
Bakeberg, Bonnie Vrudny, Kathy Pinsonneault, and Pam Kruger—and so many more of you who continu-
ally work at keeping our kitchen usable!
Thank you, Meg Duin for keeping our church looking presentable and appropriate for each season and
occasion.
Thank you to so many of the “behind the scenes” helpers on Sunday mornings.
Just think. Our entire “church family” functions thanks to many “body parts” using their God-given gifts. It
really is amazing! THANK YOU!
Yes, God is keeping track of the “good deeds” you do in private. However, if you see someone doing some-
thing “in secret”, let the church office (or Pam Kruger) know so we can all say thank you! The smallest
thing you do is GREATLY appreciated! YOU are appreciated!

the teachers in our school and those involved with
our school extend to the congregation, their friends
and family our deepest gratitude,
and how very blessed we feel for
the outpouring of support the
school received during the week of
the ABC Sale. We are so blessed by
the generous and hard-working
spirit of our congregation mem-
bers. About 60 people worked at
the sale, people from our congre-
gation from the youngest to some
of the oldest!
If you weren’t directly involved
with working at the ABC Sale,
there were dozens of you who do-
nated items, shopped, or helped
feed all of those 60 people! More
importantly, throughout the week
we all experienced Christian fellowship with each oth- sic, crafts and Bible stories.
