Dear St.
Mark’s congregation,
I invite you to
join me, beginning today, February 9th, in discovering what
it means to be found faithful in giving to God.
We will spend
four weeks exploring being faithful in little things, faithful with much, and
faithful with all God has given us.
During this time, you will be receiving a bulletin insert each Sunday
and more letters such as this encouraging
us to be “Found Faithful”.
God can take
little things in our lives, things that seem relatively insignificant, and
multiply their impact beyond what we could have imagined. What gifts are we
holding back because we think they are “too little”? God can multiply even
our smallest gifts in ways that allow people to be restored.
We are richly
blessed. How does God call us to be faithful with much—with all our generous
blessings? Allow God to show you that God will be found faithful as we
increase our faithfulness and generosity.
In what ways
is God calling our congregation to be generous? When we trust God with all we have,
miracles are possible. The reward of work well done is often more work, more
trust, more testing, and more engagement with the Master of the universe.
I look forward to
all that we will learn and experience as together we celebrate God’s faithfulness
and find ways to increasingly be found faithful in our response to God’s
goodness and blessings.
With you in
mission and ministry,
Nan C
Nan Corrigan,
Diaconal Minister
