News from the Interim Co-Executive PresbytersStewardship and Generosity
“Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift” (2 Corinthians 9:15) As Hoover and I began this interim process 9 months ago we have been blessed to receive many indescribable gifts from so many of you. We give thanks for the welcomes we have received from congregations, and their leaders, and the clergy. As we are still making contact with congregations, we are grateful for the stories you have offered to share with us, those of pain and those of joy. We are grateful for the working of the Spirit in Central Florida and where the Spirit is leading us all. Hoover and I offer the end of 2 Corinthians 9 as the summation of the whole chapter (look it up) as the gratitude we feel during this time of exploration, questioning and growth. On June 6, Palm Bay Presbyterian Church will host the quarterly Presbytery meeting that will be offered in a hybrid format. The learning time will be presented by the newly formed Stewardship and Generosity Team. This group’s mission is Stewardship Education, reflecting and exploring how God has been generous in our lives and how we express such generosity in our ministry with others. This time will be offering some practical year-around stewardship ideas and practices for the church of 2024 and beyond. The Stewardship and Generosity invites all ministers/church leaders to bring members of their church’s Stewardship Teams to this meeting, either in person or online to hear, participate and learn. See you there! Peace, Olivia and Hoover |
