February is a bit of a holding pattern for stewardship in the church, if your stewardship and/or generosity program has a fall emphasis. You’re well-past year end. You know how 2018 shaped up for you, and you’ve got a budget for 2019. You know what the needs are, and you know what your pledges are. You’ve probably recruited new members for the stewardship and generosity committee. If you haven’t, you’ll want to do this soon so you have an opportunity to work together for several months ahead of pledge Sunday.

As Presbyterians, we are bound together. We are not bound together by culture, but rather by the grace of Jesus and through the love of God and neighbor. As a people with a deep connection, we respond in gratitude to the Spirit, which empowers us to share the love of Christ, working with one another for justice, peace, and freedom. As we practice our own expressions of that gratitude through giving of ourselves and resources, we are not only directing our own energy in a way that glorifies God, but we are also influencing the little ones whose eyes and ears catch what we do and say. They learn from us how to become grateful and generous people.

November is the big month for many congregations when it comes to stewardship. You may call the day that your members dedicate their financial promises for the coming year Pledge Sunday, Commitment Sunday or Generosity Sunday. It is typically in November with churches observing this important day in varying ways.
