Dear Friends,
As followers of Jesus — The Way, The Truth, and The Life — we are called to live generously and gratefully. This includes being stewards of everything God has entrusted to us: our time, our relationships, our abilities, and yes, our financial resources.
Throughout Scripture and the life of Jesus, we see that giving is not about obligation or pressure — it’s about trust, growth, and love. It's about choosing to invest in something larger than ourselves, something eternal.
This fall, we’re taking a five-week season of reflection and renewal, focused on the core values of our church: Celebrate, Support, and Serve. We’ll hear stories of how God is working through this congregation — from joyful worship to youth leadership, from mission outreach to pastoral care.
All month we are celebrating with special Sundays dedicated to our youth, prayer and service. We are also inviting you to consider how you are able to grow in generosity and to support the mission we share together.
Your giving:
- Sustains the ministries that touch lives every week
- Supports children, youth, and adults as they grow in faith
- Extends care and compassion to our community and beyond
- Reflects trust in God’s provision and the belief that together, we can do more
If you've never given before, this is a perfect time to take that first step. Start where you are — with prayerful intention — and trust that God will use your gift for good.
It is the prayer of our Stewardship Team that this season will bless and encourage you. Whether through worship, service, or fellowship, may you experience the joy of being part of something meaningful — something that truly makes a difference.
With gratitude and hope,
Deborah Coble
Pastor, North Liberty First United Methodist Church
