We have one more Commitment Sunday to go, and we are just slightly behind our pace from last year. The good news is that our average amount per pledge has increased $300 over last year. That means people are really praying about their commitment and stepping out on faith to increase their giving to the church. That’s fantastic!
We will do the march to the Joash Chest one more Sunday and then we will continue to receive Commitment Card envelopes in less public ways such as simply bringing them by the office or mailing them in.
This Sunday we will conclude our sermon series on THE YEAR OF THE CHILD and also introduce to you our new Director of Youth Ministry, Dakota Bybee, and his wife Lauren. I hope you will join me in celebrating their presence and witness among the Saint Stephen family.
Then the following Sunday, February 19th, Bishop Max Whitfield will be our preacher for all three morning services. Bishop Whitfield is a powerful preacher and I look forward to having him with us and extending to him our usual warm Saint Stephen welcome.
“Do not be weary in well doing, for in due season, we shall reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9 That, I believe!
