 Stewardship 2024 - tHE hARVEST

            Fall is here and as we bring in the change of   
                   the season, we also take this month to   
                   focus on our Stewardship within our church. 
                Why is stewardship so important in a church? As we grow in our relationship with God to develop stewardship, we experience substantial growth in ourselves. Giving is a spiritual sacrifice and an expression of love and gratitude, because everything we have comes from God. No matter what we give to God, what is left will always sustain us better than if we hadn’t given at all. God does not ask us to give because he needs our resources. Rather, He challenges us to make Him the focus of our lives instead of our money and possessions.
Here at Bethany Church, we offer many programs and resources to create, grow, and nurture each other in our church and our community. Each October we turn our focus to Stewardship, and how we can be better stewards. Being a good steward means to manage our resources well and use them to glorify God. Stewardship is managing God’s blessings, in God’s way, for God’s glory. 
     This year we will be talking about how we can better Harvest our Stewardship. Understanding better why stewardship matters not just from the financial aspect but the spiritual as well. The purpose of the Stewardship Ministry is to harvest our biblical stewardship with our time, talent, and treasure.
