2027 Stewardship Response
Program
“As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your life in him ... abounding in thanksgiving” Colossians 2:6-7
The 2027 stewardship theme “Be Thankful” comes from a reflection on Colossians 2.
If for some reason you did not receive your packet from our Stewardship team, copies of Pastor’s letter, Time and Abilities forms and Estimate of Giving forms are available at church.
Please remember, all volunteer ministries are on a calendar year basis. Time and abilities forms are intended to gather the gifts of the congregation for the year 2027. Your commitment will run from Jan.1 through Dec. 31st.
Stewardship and the Lutheran Church of the Incarnation
Stewardship is a matter of the transformation of our hearts through the power of the Holy Spirit, whereby God works in us the miracle of faithful discipleship. "A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." (a heart of compassion) Ezekiel 36:26. The bottom line of Stewardship is the believer’s relationship with Jesus Christ
At Lutheran Church of the Incarnation (LCI) we believe that the Holy Spirit meets and empowers us through the disciplines of first-fruit, proportionate, and growth giving. As a congregation we currently give a first fruit offering of 5.5% of our income to the ministries of the ELCA beyond the local congregation. It is our intention to continue to increase that percentage amount until we reach at least a tithe (10%).
Our annual stewardship response campaign is designed to encourage and support each member to consider both their Time and Abilities and their Treasure as they grow in the discipline of first fruit, proportionate, and growth giving.
Follow the links below for a further explanation of time and abilities, treasure. first fruit, percentage and growth giving. Finally for commonly asked questions about stewardship see the FAQ’s.
