Tuesday time to ponder

This coming Sunday, Nov 24th is our special in-gathering for pledges for the coming year. I commend these scriptures to you and our collect for this week, as you discern the ways you are being called in this next year to support the mission of the church, with your time, talent and treasures…

Collect: Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

TIME

Besides this, you know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers. Romans 13:11

Ponder: There are so many opportunities to volunteer your time at St Peter’s and in the community….Is there one thing you could commit your time to, in the church and in the community?

TALENT

And there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of working, but it is the same God who inspires them all in every one. 1 Corinthians 12:5-6

Ponder: There are so many ways that all of you can serve in the church and in the community…Really! Everyone can do something…because it is God who inspires us all.

TREASURE

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21

Ponder: Let us rejoice in the opportunity to Count and Share our Blessings in the coming year….

Each of you has been blessed with one of God’s many wonderful gifts to be used in the service of others. So use your gift well. 1 Peter 4:10 (CEV)

*Thank you to all who have turned in the pledges already*
