While I am not ready to listen to Christmas music just yet.....I prefer to wait until after Thanksgiving.....it is time to think of our generosity as we prepare to close out 2015. I invite you to consider the following opportunities to bless and be blessed.
- Christmas Shoebox Project. Bless a child with a shoebox of goodies this Christmas. The deadline is THIS SUNDAY and more information is available in this newsletter.
- Advent Conspiracy. Change the way you celebrate the birth of Jesus and give to help us dig another well to provide a village with clean drinking water in Jesus name. Refrain from buying gifts that people do not need and often do not want, take some of that money and give to Living Water through our church. Then make relational gifts that cost less and will mean more.
- Annual Stewardship Drive. We are taking a different approach this year. Our theme is "You Can Count on Me" and instead of asking you to give 10% of your time, talent, treasure and truth, we are asking you to tell us what the church can count on you to give over the next year. Cards are available over the next two weeks and they will be blessed on Sunday, November 22 during worship.
- Year End Gift. If you're looking to give a tax deductible donation, please consider Cornerstone MCC. You can designate how your gift is to be used or you can leave that to the discretion of the Board of Directors. Stocks, bonds and cash are all appreciated.
- Estate Planning. Consider Cornerstone when you're planning the legacy you will leave behind. Your gift can be designated or left to the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Join us Sunday as I share 12 Benefits of Generosity found in scripture. God is generous and one way to be more God-like is to practice generosity. Opportunities abound. Which ones are you most passionate about?
Rev Sandy, Pastor
