Pr. Chris asked me to write a paragraph or two on stewardship for this newsletter. Oh, my! Have you ever known me to confine myself to a paragraph or two in print or conversation? The theme, I\u2019m told, is sacrifice, a word that strikes nearly as much terror into the hearts of modern Christians as its synonym, \u201cgive,\u201d a four-letter word that is never spoken in polite company. We understand the concept of \u201cno pain […]<\/p>\n\n \n

A Cheerful Giver I\u2019ve heard it said so many times, \u201cAll that church does is ask for money!\u201d I saw a cartoon once with two men stranded on a tiny little island, with sharks swimming around it. One said, \u201cNobody will ever find us.\u201d To which the other replies, \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I pledged $100,000 to my church; my pastor will find us.\u201d Many are turned off by the mere suggestion of stewardship, as a sour […]<\/p>\n\n \n

\n\n \n

Titles: Part 1 Mother, Father, Sister, Friar As we journey through life we will all encounter pivotal moments that change and define our lives. In many of these life changes we encounter a new way of identifying ourselves. Son or Daughter when we are born, Husband or Wife when we get married, Doctor, Pastor, or Captain for jobs, Father or Mother when we become parents. These titles shift and grow with us as our lives […]<\/p>\n\n \n

Titles: Part 2 Reverend vs Pastor To many these titles are synonymous. They can be used interchangeably along with Father or Priest. However, to some there is a slight difference between these two titles. My pastoral supervisor when I was on internship instilled the difference within me and I appreciate his perspective. He had drawn my attention to the fact that the title of Reverend is bestowed to those who have a masters degree of […]<\/p>\n\n \n
