The Summit

Stewardship
Sunday November 13

We will celebrate stewardship this Sunday at both worship services by offering our pledges for 2012.  These will include our GREEN pledge cards for the general and benevolence ministries of the congregation, the YELLOW pledge cards for the building debt retirement, and the WHITE pledge cards for our time and talent that we wish to offer Alpine Lutheran Church next year.  As a symbolic gesture, we will bring these pledges forward during the time of offering so that they may be offered at the altar.

Then, at 5:00 in the evening, we will join together for a celebration POT-LUCK dinner.  The stewardship committee will give an initial update on how the pledges are proceeding, and we’ll enjoy a little musical program as well.  Even if you did not sign up for the dinner, and even if you are unable to bring anything, please attend anyway!  The important thing is that you be there and add to the good spirit that exists in our congregation.  (Yes, Bears fans, TV has changed the schedule to a 3:15 game; we’ll have it on our big-screen TV in the conference room so that you can check in on the score!)

Our Lord makes it clear that just as He has committed Himself to us for grace, love, forgiveness and salvation, we in turn are called to commit ourselves to Him and His Church. However, this is a positive thing, as expressed in II Cor. 9:6-8, “. . . God loves a cheerful giver and is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance . . .”   See you this Sunday!
