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.
giving is transformational
This year our theme is 'Giving is Transformational'. We are personally transformed through giving and giving facilitates the transformation of others. As you generously give your time, talent and treasure, be assured that lives are being changed.
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.
Your gifts can be used to create radical transformation.
In early November, the church posted Pastor Michele's Stewardship letter, a commitment card and a small gift. 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.
