Our Stewardship emphasis for this fall came to a conclusion on Sunday, November 13th. We appreciate all members who brought their pledge commitments to worship that day. Those who were unable to bring their commitments on Sunday are encouraged to bring these to the church office or mail them to the church in the coming days.

The Stewardship Theme for the upcoming year will be “Generations of Generosity.” Our guiding Scripture passage is the following: “But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.” Deuteronomy 8:18

    The Stewardship Committee of New Philadelphia began meeting year round in 2004. Their Mission Statement is the following:

    The mission of the Stewardship Committee is to help all members grow in their faith journey and their response to God’s grace through applying their gifts to further the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    The Stewardship Committee emphasizes a year round approach to Stewardship Education. Some of the benefits of year round education are the following:

    • It allows time and creativity to address all aspects of stewardship during the year. We want members to see stewardship as our total response to God’s grace and gifts, not just our financial response.
    • Year round stewardship education helps members to connect the meaning of Christian stewardship to other ministries of the congregation.
    • Year round stewardship education helps to provide a balanced follow up and feed back to the congregation from our annual financial stewardship emphasis.
