"Joyful Generosity, Growing in Faith Together" is our Stewardship theme for 2020! Quite often, people will ask the question, "What does stewardship mean?" Although the word, "stewardship" is not in the bible… it refers to our generosity in how we utilize and share the gifts of our time, our treasures and our talents that God has so generously given to us! We cannot begin to repay God for all he has done for us…all these things mentioned in addition to the giving of God's Son, Jesus who forgives us and gives us the gift of eternal life! I mean…where do you even start to give thanks for things like these? So, because we cannot repay him for all he has done, God inspires us to be generous toward others, toward the ministries of our church and toward overwhelming needs in our community. We at Kure Memorial have life changing ministries going on…and your ongoing, joyful, generous support of our church and the ministries we share through your time, your talents and your treasures is what makes things happen! Today we give thanks for what is happening through the various ministries we share together as a body of Christ. Our theme verse for this year is from Genesis 12:2, when the Lord told Abram, "I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing."God has created us and blessed us to be a blessing as well. So together, let us keep finding new ways to be a blessing through our church, in our community and around the world!
