I kicked off stewardship this morning and someone said to me as they were leaving church, "That was the best stewardship sermon I've ever heard, I forgot you were talking about money for awhile!"
Jury's still out as to whether or not that's a good thing or a bad thing. ;)
I followed the lectionary and it just happened to line up really well with our theme for the year, It Takes A Church In The Village. I really love the theme this year, because it puts to words what I have been learning about this community for the past 6+ years. We are a church founded in our community and I am so glad we are finally celebrating that!
