Growing in Christ - Through Stewardship
This week we begin a series of Stewardship events and presentations that
will culminate on November 19 when we will make our financial
commitments for the coming year. Our Stewardship focus this year is
"Growing in Christ - - - Through Stewardship." Stewardship is not just
about fall funding raising. It is God's guiding principle for our journey of
faith. He calls us to be good stewards of all He has blessed us with. This
broader understanding of Stewardship will focus us in the coming year.
As Christians, we grow closer and more like Christ when we recognize and
respond to God's call to work through us as individuals and as a church.
God is most certainly at work in the life of SACPC, but it is when we
choose to join in that work that we truly grow and change. The programs
and services that bring the spirit and love of Christ to our community and to
the world require our time and energy as well as our financial resources to
continue. Through SACPC God gives us the opportunity to do His work
with our hands. How are you joining Him?
Please pray for our church as we begin this important time in the life of our
church.

Please remember that SACPC now has a New streamlined news submission process
Deadline for news in the Saints Alive is Friday the week before the announcement is to run.
We understand how confusing it can be in order to find the right person to send your information to when you
need something published on the web, bulletin, or in the newsletter (Saints Alive). We have simplified that
process, instead of emailing several different people now you can submit your information all in one place!
If you are having trouble our website has video tutorials and "how to's" to help you.
