On Sunday we heard two more outstanding witness talks. This week our stewardship campaign focused on sharing a portion of our talents in service to others.
At early worship, Ed Zuccarelli spoke of the importance of service in his life from the time he was a child up to his present involvement as Yard Sale chairman. Serving others has simply become part of who Ed is – and who God calls him to be.
Jay Larson shared how serving others through such ministries as local soup kitchens and Habitat for Humanity enabled him to progress from knowing Christ to making Christ known. Jay experiences mission and service as avenues of spiritual growth.
Both Jay and Ed expressed the sense of joy and fulfillment that come from enriching the lives of others. We invite all members of the congregation to experience these same blessings.
This coming Sunday we will hear what the Bible has to say about financial stewardship as we explore scripture’s advice for using money. God desires that money be a blessing to ourselves and others, rather than a source of worry, cause of strife, or motivator of bad behavior.
On Sunday, 23 October we will conclude this stewardship series by considering how our financial support of the local congregation and broader Moravian Church brings blessing to fellow members, our community, nation and world.
See you in church,
Derek French
