From His Hands though our Hands
Our Stewardship theme for 2010, “From His Hands through our Hands,” reminds us that God is calling us to be helping hands of mercy, grace, and love both locally and globally. Our 2010 Stewardship goal is for 400 members or friends of St. Mathew’s to pledge their financial support to ensure we can continue to be the helping hands of God!
Luke 12:48, “From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required,” reminds us that God is calling us to use our time, talents, and nurturing to help those in need. Every year St. Matthew’s provides an opportunity for members to answer this call through numerous missions, including:
- Blood Drives
- English for Speakers of Other Languages
- FACETS Hot Meals and Home Connections
- Food Closet
- Grace Ministries
- Hypothermia Relief Ministry
- Joy Fund
- Lamb Center
- Meals on Wheels
- Mitten Tree
- Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches
- Rising Hope United Methodist Church
- United College Ministries
- Wesley Housing Development
- Weyanoke Elementary
- Cuba Mission Project
- Russian Orphanage Project
- United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR)
- And Many Others.
Without St. Matthew’s, many critical mission areas may not occur at all. Our church provides a center for people to meet and support these worthy causes as well as providing direct financial support through our general operating budget. Your financial pledge makes this possible.
Last year 365 families pledged, and we pray that you will choose to pledge for 2010 to help ensure the financial strength of St. Matthew's and the many missions and ministries it supports. Please pledge your support today!
Pledge materials are mailed out each September to members of our church family. These materials are also available below. Please take time to read, study, and pray over these materials. Our church is asking you to grow as a steward and make a generous commitment to the annual mission and ministry budget. Return your pledge information to the church office or place it in our offering plate during any worship service. Thank you for your prayerful consideration and support.
In Christ, all things are possible! We look forward to reporting to you the success of this campaign!
