4th Sunday of Advent – Luke 2:8-20

Stewardship Moment from Pastor William

Stewardship in the Gospel

In today’s Gospel, an angel of the Lord comes to shepherds with a message of “good news of great joy for all the people.” God is giving the greatest gift; God with us.

Stewardship in our community

The shepherds were trusted to share the good news with the people – and so they did! Are there people in our community who might have good news for us? Will we wait for people to come to us with good news? Maybe there is a better way.

Stewardship in practice

The joy promised by the angels is for all the people. Don’t limit sharing the joy of Christmas with just your friends and family. Share the joy with those who are easily overlooked; store clerks, custodians, delivery people, public service people, and maybe even with that rude person who just cut you off in traffic.
