Being a Disciple Is Being a Steward

From Rev. Charles Murry:
Richard Clark (Chair) and members of the Stewardship Committee are preparing correspondence telling how to support the ministries of Jesus Christ through First United Methodist Church.
The first letter was mailed on Jan. 26; it was an overview of the stewardship emphasis. The second letter, written by Linda Tyler, was mailed on Feb. 2.  She spoke of the significance of giving our time and talents through the Church. Next week, you will receive a letter with a listing of jobs in the church.
Please prayerfully mark the places you feel called to serve. If there is more than one person to fill it out, you may use your initials or obtain extra copies through e-mail or at the worship services on Feb. 14. During worship on Feb. 14, each person will have the opportunity to make an offering of his/her skills and abilities given in service to God. Prayers of Dedication will be offered. By April 1, each person responding will receive a follow-up contact about places to serve.
Everybody has a gift to give. There is a place for every disciple to serve. The best discipleship of Christ is stewardship plain and simple.
