* Call to Worship
Leader: Sisters and brothers, we have been given the gift of a new day!
People: We come together to celebrate life and give thanks to God!
Leader: In these days, it is hard to know whether to despair or delight.
People: So we come together in gratitude and joy, even in the midst of
chaos around us, for we belong to God.
Leader: God is with us. His steadfast love endures forever.
People: Thanks be to God! Together, let us worship the Lord.

Gracious God, we are grateful that you bless us with much; in fact, all that we
need. We confess that too often we hold on to all that we have and still want
more. Forgive us for the times we waste your gifts, fail to love our neighbors,
and forget your love. Have mercy on us, O Lord. Forgive our sins, and help us to
live in your light and walk in your ways, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Savior.

Ordination and Installation of Officers [11.00AM]
Last year our church leadership did something that we probably should have
done many years ago. Since all of our people are here in Florida during the
months of January, February, and March, it made perfect sense to move our
stewardship emphasis and campaign to a time within those months. That we
did … and it worked well for us. We will keep with the same plan this year.
Our theme for this year’s emphasis is “Responding to God’s Generosity.” You
will not be able to miss a couple of prominently displayed banners outside our
sanctuary heralding our 2015 theme. Our calendar of events will look like this.
On Sundays January 18, 25, February 1, and 8 we will have a series of
stewardship sermons. On those respective weeks we will explore: (1) The
Necessity of Giving, (2) The Manner of Giving, (3) The Measure of Giving, and
(4) The Blessings of Giving. On those weeks we will deviate from the
lectionary texts and in your regular Friday e•weekly you will be provided
with texts we will use on the following Sunday.
Keeping things in a fairly chronological order, on Sunday, January 25, we will
have a meeting of the congregation for the purpose of presenting the 2015
Challenge Budget. The meeting will follow the 11.00AM service and will
convene right around noon.
During the week between February 1 and 8 each of us will receive a packet
from our Stewardship Committee. It will contain material with which we will
be familiar: narrative budget, letter, step chart, and estimate of giving card.
Stewardship Commitment Sunday 2015 will be Sunday, February 8. As a
response to the Word and at our offering time we will leave our seats and
come forward to the chancel area where two large plexiglas boxes will be
positioned. Into the box on “our side” of line up the middle aisle we will
deposit our card.
The following Sunday, February 15, 2015 we will hold the Annual Meeting of
the Congregation. By then we should have a preliminary report regarding the
response to our campaign.
“Responding to God’s Generosity” … our 2015 theme. I believe there is
nothing that better captures the entire reason for being a steward than this
statement. Think about it. All we have is from the hand of God … everything
… especially our salvation in Christ. How will we respond?
