As a church we set aside the month of November to focus on Stewardship. What does the Bible say about this topic?
Stewardship is about much more than money. Stewardship reminds us that everything we have comes from God and belongs to God. It is a reminder that we are not the owners, God is, and that we are to be good stewards of everything that He has given to us - our time, talents, treasures, words, relationships, roles, spiritual gifts, and the list goes on.
Live the Vision
Our Stewardship theme this year is “Live the Vision.” This is an important theme because we must never forget that the Christian church risks dying at every generation. It needs each one of us to continue to ‘live the vision’ and share the good news of Jesus Christ.
In terms of a financial commitment, we boldly invite you to consider making a financial commitment to Union Church. We have a wonderful new sanctuary and facilities, but these facilities are bigger and require more staff, not to mention the operating expenses are significantly higher and we are currently operating at a deficit. Each pledge made this year is critical.
Offering your gifts to God is living the vision.
In early November, the church posted Pastor Michele's Stewardship letter, a commitment card. Thank you in advance for posting your commitment card to the church or making your annual pledge online.
If you are part of our online congregation and have not received the Stewardship letter, please write us at

God bless you as you serve as a faithful steward of His gifts.
