pointed out that stewardship has
improved at the church for the
past three years but that members
are not doing anywhere near what
they could and should do.
The average member of the
church gave $86.85 during the past
year, but should have given $142.50
according to figures in a special
stewardship news letter mailed to
the members.
Services both morning and eve
ning Nov. 14, 21, 28th and Dec.
5th will be devoted vto increasing
the church’s financed.
The pastor stressed that the
stewardship program is not Just a
a way to raise money for the
church, adding, “The supreme ob
jective is the dedication of self,
the consecration of life with all
its powers and abilities. This must
rightly come first, and when it
does, we do not find it unpleasant
to give a tenth of our income to
our God.”
