Greetings!
Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops. Proverbs 3:9
Heart-felt giving awakens us. All things come of thee, O Lord. And of thine own have we given thee. 1 Chronicles 29.
This Sunday, we will hear from Stephen Schaible, as he shares his pathway to giving. Consecration Sunday is next week, November 2. Bishop Burrill will be with us as a guest preacher.
Please sign up for the Consecration Sunday Brunch at the Information Table after church today. And don't forget to set your clocks back one hour on Saturday night, so you will be well rested for the celebration.
We ask you to prayerfully consider your gift to All Saints this year. We will fill out our giving cards in church and present them to God as a community next Sunday on All Saints Day. We hope you can be here with us.
Your Stewardship Committee,Ladeen Miller, Chip Nichols, Rev. Vicki Mouradian,
Sally Messerlian, Denny Bacon, Karen Telleen-Lawton, Pat McClure, and Kathleen Winters
