Cultivating Love

“Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love.” Ephesians 3:17

The Stewardship Team has chosen “Cultivating Love” for our stewardship emphasis theme, and Ephesians 3:17 as our key verse.  We will focus these coming weeks on three aspects of Cultivating Love:

  • Cultivating Connections: Listen, share, and invite.
  • Cultivating Grace: Lean into and live out the gift of Grace given by God and made real for one and all through God and all of God’s beloved.
  • Cultivating Community: Celebrate and give thanks together.

Focus on Resources

Resources at Lord of Love is comprised of three components.

The first component is the church council committee which consists of two people elected by the congregation to focus on Resources. Monthly meetings are attended and updates are given on any projects that were completed. Projects in need of financial support or approval from the church council are also discussed. The committee members work with other members to accomplish identified activities.

The second component is the Property committee. Several people are involved in this committee. They bring different skills to keep the church grounds and building in good condition. These volunteers and other use their time to do different tasks which makes care of our bulding and grounds possible. A few examples of these ongoing tasks include taking care of the sprinkler system, monitoring security/fire alarm notifications, and the keeping the grounds and building clean and safe. The Property committee brings larger tasks require more volunteer help to the congregation. This included a couple wind storms with tree damage over the last few years that took a lot more hands, saws, rakes, trucks, and trailers to make cleanup quicker and easier. The congregation is also invited to help as they are able for our Spring and Fall cleanup days.

The third component of resources is the Stewardship committee. Part of stewardship includes sharing with the congregation about how people are helping the church through volunteering their time and talents. There are many ways for anyone to get involved within the congregation. Resources is only a small part of the council and various support committees that are available.
