| The Stewardship and
Finance Committee promotes and educates the congregation on
the concept of being a "Good Steward" in all that
we do.
Good stewardship involves our
world's natural resources, our personal resources, our
relationships, and our time.
The Stewardship and Finance
Committee assists in preparing the annual budget from
information received from the various committees. Other
opportunities include speaking to the Sunday School about
the many ways to be good stewards of our resources, working
on the annual fall stewardship drive, and promoting good
stewardship in our daily lives.
