Every day is a walk with Jesus. We Christians believe life is spent in the presence of our Lord. Therefore, we can talk about every day as a day during which we walk with Jesus.  Some days we feel Jesus’ presence. Some days we feel quite a distance from Jesus.  We boldly proclaim that, regardless of how we feel, Jesus is there. Jesus walks with us every day.

For our stewardship campaign theme this year we chose “Walking With Jesus”. This theme seems appropriate with our new mission, “Walking With Christ, We Love and Serve our Church and Neighbors”. As we who are Christ Lutheran Church consider our stewardship over the next few weeks, you will be asked to think about your use of money, talents, and time as a part of your walk with Jesus. This is most appropriate, because when Jesus walked this earth with his disciples, he often talked about those things.

We believe that everything we have is a trust from God, given to us to care for and manage. What we do with our money, time and talents, is very much a part of our relationship with our Lord. This will be our focus in the coming weeks.

For three consecutive Sundays beginning on Sunday November 2^nd, we will read a bulletin insert and hear a talk in worship.  For three weeks, we will each receive a letter from the congregation. All of these will focus on our walk with Jesus, and how money, time and talents play an important part in this walk. 

Then, on Sunday, November 23, each member of Christ Lutheran will have the opportunity to complete an estimate of giving card. On this card, each of us will indicate our plan for giving for the coming year. This will not only be a plan for giving to Christ Lutheran Church, it will also be a plan for how we will walk with Jesus in the coming year.
