Stewardship is responsible for the stewardship of commitment and resources of the
congregation. Year round stewardship emphasis concerning the use of our time, talent, and
treasure is necessary. Consistent communication with the congregation through the newsletter,
bulletins, letters, etc., is essential.
Stewardship Drive The purpose of the stewardship drive is to promote general knowledge
among our members and to keep the people aware of our Christian vocation. This committee is
responsible for keeping the congregation informed on a regular basis about the financial position
of the church.
Finance Committee This committee is responsible for audits and reviews for financial and
operational activities including the budgetary process and guidance of financial activities and
commitments. The committee submits a draft budgetary plan to the council for action and later
presentation to the congregation.

Dear OSLC Family,
I am overwhelmed with all the good things that God has done for us in the past year. The
theme for stewardship this year is LOVE IS FELT. God's presence is everywhere; in the
church, in the classrooms, in the LFC, and in the lives and ministries of our peopl eand His
love is felt in so many ways. How blessed we are to be together in community at this church
at this time.
I would ask you to think about the true meaning of stewardship and consider your role as a
steward of God’s blessings to us. Each one of us has talents. Are you using yours? Each
one of us has time. Are you using yours wisely? Each one of us has money. Are you tithing
or increasing your giving by just a little each year?
If the answer is NO to any of the above questions, it is time for a spiritual check up. God gave
us our days and our talents to use in His work, not to keep them hidden. We have the money
we have because of Him. Pray about this and let the love of the Holy Spirit fill your heart.
Look around you; everywhere you look LOVE IS FELT!
Please fill out the annual Time and Talent sheets and a giving card, or pledge card. You may
put them in the offering, mail it to the church office, or drop it off in person. We are also
offering information about the Simply Giving program if you should choose to give directly to
the church.
God bless us all as we consider our gifts to God and His work at Our Savior.
In His name I write,
Janet West, Council President, 2007

| God is seen, LOVE IS FELT; Lives are changed. "In Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others." Romans 12:5 Sharing our time and talents in worship, in Christian education, in missions and outreach, in fellowship and activities, in new opportunities to serve. Like the branches of a tree, we are church family. Together we: ...make possible worship services and all ministries of the church. ...provide for the maintenance and care of God's house. ...spread the good news of God's love and forgiveness. ...teach the principles and love of Christ to our youth. ...share fellowship and inspiration with all who attend. Worship with us every Sunday. Living Stewardship 2005 |
