RESOURCE -- 10 STEWARDSHIP PRINCIPLES
April 2007 -- As baptized members of the body of Christ, we gratefully
confess Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We boldly proclaim the gospel
as the Word of God. We clearly recognize the gifts that God has first
given us through grace, and we joyfully accept our role and responsibility
as stewards.

MISSION
PARTNER OPPORTUNITIES 2006/2007

Mission partnership includes
more than sending a check. Mission partners make connections and develop
relationships. Being a mission partner includes doing some of the following:
• Having a Mission Sunday
• Creating a Mission bulletin board
• Doing volunteer activities at the Mission
• Promoting prayer for the Mission
• Understanding the needs and working on specific projects identified
by the Mission
