Annual Report - Year
2007
Stewardship and Interpretation
Committee
"Stewardship is the grateful response to God's grace and goodness.
It is more than giving money to the church. Stewardship is about
being faithful disciples, caring for and managing all that God has
given us". So says PCUSA.
Good stewardship is alive and well in the Nineveh Presbyterian
Church. We promoted our four special offerings and supported our own
church's budget. The special offerings gave help to young people to
attend Christian colleges, gave aid to disaster areas, gave refugee
assistance, and helped with the hunger program. We sent money to the
"Race To Save A Life" program.
We
donated to peacemaking causes, an idea that came to light during the
peacemaking campaign was to have a "peace garden". Hopefully that
idea can grow to fruition in the future.
All the above show good financial stewardship as well as mission
interpretation.
Also, good stewardship was shown by people who gave of their time
and talents to work on the church basement to ready it for the
Sunday School program that is so important to the development of our
children's spiritual life.
We
hope that we have helped your understanding of the meaning of
stewardship. We have strived to connect the use of our financial
resources and our time and talents to one's commitment to Christ.
We
wish to thank the budget committee and others for their concern and
dedication in working out a budget for the coming year. May we
continue to celebrate the gifts God has given us as we strive to
become good stewards.
