Suffolk Presbyterian Church

Back in June we had our annual joint session/deacons retreat. We did some long range planning and one of the things that was on my agenda was Stewardship. We agreed to make 2009 The Year of the Steward. We’ll be using the Steward curriculum to guide us, but drawing the 12 week course into a 12 month thematic guide. We will be intentional about using each month’s theme to guide all aspects of our church life–worship, Sunday School, fellowship, mission, etc. The theme of stewardship, in all aspects of our lives, will permeate 2009.

I’m already going through and making plans how to use the material and  make  it work since it was originally designed as a 12 week curriculum. It  will be an exciting year I think, bringing an awareness of our role as caretakers of what God has entrusted to us–the gospel, the earth, our relationships with each other, our money, our resources, etc. I hope you’ll join us on the grand adventure!
