Stewardship 2015 / 2016

The Apostle Paul starts out as a bit of a scoundrel.  He is actually employed to go out, find followers of Jesus, arrest them and bring them bound to Jerusalem.   On his way to Damascus he has an encounter with the Risen Christ that changes his whole life.  No longer does Paul even consider his life his own but that it belongs totally to Christ.  Paul’s new life in Christ was not something which he could contain – it was Life Overflowing! Paul now takes risks, opens up his life to unexpected people, and ultimately changes the very face of Christianity.

We each have different stories of life and faith but we do share something in common with Paul – Life Overflowing!  To live in Christ is to live in Love, so much so that it overflows from us and out into the world.  We cannot but help to share God’s mission of justice, hope, love and peace.

November is Stewardship time at Brougham Place, when we consider what we will do to be a part of the mission of God. Resources for the season:

• The stewardship brochure for 2015/2016. Please use this to indicate where and how you would like to be involved and what your gifts to the ministry of the church will be.
• An e(give) form for those who would like to give by direct debit or update your giving.
• An invitation to the Celebration Dinner 2015 on Saturday, November 14.  Please come along and celebrate the year that has been.

The year ahead is exciting – consider how you will share in God’s mission at Brougham Place as together we have Life Overflowing!
