Stewardship
Saints Alive! Living Generously
2012 Annual Operating Fund Campaign
There is clearly a lot of uncertainty, unease and struggle throughout the world today. The political rancor, the famine in Somalia, lost lives in Afghanistan and the economy here at home are just a few examples of the uncertain times in which we live. In spite of this uncertainty, God’s plan is on display every day at SMPC. It can be found through our Deacons as they support our pastoral care efforts, the regular meals that are made at the Center of Hope, the education of our adults and children, and the list goes on!
There are many good things happening here! On Sunday, October 9th we begin our annual operating fund campaign, a season when we ask our congregation to reflect on the many gifts that God has provided to us and to prayerfully consider what we might each give back financially through this faith community. Your financial commitment is necessary so we can continue to achieve what God has called us to do in this special place. We are asking each of our members to return their pledge card by Commitment Sunday, November 6th. Detailed information on the campaign and how to pledge online is available in the links below:

" ... “Now concerning the collection of the saints: you should follow the directions I gave to the churches of Galatia. On the first day of every week, each of you is to put aside and save whatever extra you earn, so that collections need not be taken when I come. And when I arrive, I will send any whom you approve with letters to take your gift to Jerusalem. If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me.”
-1 Corinthians 16:1-4
