Consecration Sunday & Stewardship Committee Moment – August 2019

How do you define stewardship? Seriously consider this question. Most dictionaries define a steward as one who takes care of something which belongs to someone else, assists with taking care of other persons, or aids in helping others to understand and use their God-given talents.

 Our church has had a Stewardship Committee for many years. This committee is tasked with the responsibility of guiding, leading, and encouraging our members and attendees to commit to a yearly financial pledge for the church. These commitments, along with our free will offerings, help to support all the programs our church provides to our congregation and community.

 For the second year in a row, we have more children attending our services. We would like to make more opportunities available to grow our young family ministry to sustain our church mission for years to come. We are excited by the actions taken in the first half of 2019 to support the Youth, Young Adult, and Young Families ministry.

The Presbyterian Church continues to a leading presence in our community. We participate or sponsor many community-related events; such as Community Easter Sunrise Service, Community Easter Egg Hunt, Community National Day of Prayer Breakfast, and Fourth of July parade to name a few of the many ways we fulfill our mission statement. “Share the Love of God with ALL people, giving them hope and comfort, while guiding them into a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ and each other.”  

 The Presbyterian Church is the second largest church in the Miami Valley Presbytery. In September 2020, The Presbyterian Church will host a Presbytery meeting in our facilities.

 Be sure to mark your calendars now for Consecration Sunday, October 13, 2019. We hope that you can attend this very special time of celebration and commitment in our church calendar.
