God's Work Our Hands

New Sermon Series | Oct 13-27

"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms."    1 Peter 4:10

As Christians we are called to be “servants”; Christians serve.  Christians are gifted with many different roles in the life and ministry of the church.  Christians are also “stewards”. They are responsible for the faithful use of their many gifts.  As servants and stewards we are able to offer to others the Good News of Jesus Christ, which is the calling of every Christian.  These gifts are for the mutual upbuilding of the church, community, and the world. 

This month we begin our “God’s Work, Our Hands” campaign.  I will be preaching on how, through the use of our hands, we are called to be “servants” to others and be faithful “stewards” of what God has already given us.   In addition, you will be hearing from some of our faithful members as they share about why it is important to them to support the many ministries of our church.  During the campaign, we will also encourage one another to be faithful servants and stewards to St. Thomas through the gifts of your prayers, your presence, your gifts, your service, and your witness.  The series will conclude on October 27th with a special in-person and online worship celebration at both our 9AM and 11AM services, where we will consecrate the many gifts that are offered that will move our ministries forward into the new year. 

Friends, I am excited to see where God will be leading us in the new year and the gifts you offer through the God’s Work, Our Hands campaign will ensure God’s purposes will be done “…on earth as it is in heaven.”
