Scriptural Foundations:
• “Zeal for Your House consumes me!” (Psalm 69:9)• “The Lord said to Moses, ‘You are to receive an offering for
me from each (person) whose heart prompts him to give.” (Exodus 25:1-2)
• “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” (1 Peter 4:10)
• “Much will be required of everyone who has been given much. Even more will be asked of the person who is supposed to take care of much.” (Luke 12:48. NIRV)
• “Well done, good and faithful servant!” (1 Cor. 19:17a)
Our Goals:
• To respond to God’s call to be faithful stewards of our gifts and of this place;
• To have our church facility be a beautiful beacon of light, hope, and faith to our church family and our community;
• To enjoy and appreciate having a well-used and energy-efficient place of worship;
• And to leave a functional and well-maintained house of God as a blessing to the future generations of St. Paul United Church of Christ.
