“Because of God’s Great Mercy” is the title of our stewardship program this year. The scriptural basis of this year’s stewardship focus of all that God has entrusted into our care is 1 Peter 2:9, “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness and into his marvelous light.”
We begin by proclaiming all that God has done for us, hence the title “Because of God’s Great Mercy.” God has made us God’s own people. We will also consider how generous giving is an important part of every Christian’s life, and how our combined generosity can make even greater things possible through our congregation.
As we begin the year of celebrating 75 years of St. Mark’s ministry in Huntsville, we will think together about how our giving to St. Mark’s is an important part of our Christian faith, and how we should use our offerings to do God’s work within the congregation’s walls, in our community, and around the world.
“Because of God’s Great Mercy” we will ask you to increase your giving to St. Mark’s by at least ½% of your household income. We also ask that you prayerfully consider how you would like to serve our congregation and community.
“Because of God’s Great Mercy” will use mail, email, and time in worship to share information with you. Please make a special effort to watch for material during this important time in our congregation’s life.
In His Blessed Name,
Your Church Council
