Stewardship
Dear Members of Spring Branch Presbyterian Church,
As we enter this stewardship season, we invite you to reflect on a powerful truth that grounds and transforms our lives: “Christ is in you” (Colossians 1:27). This simple yet profound affirmation is a living reality. It means that the Holy Spirit dwells in your heart and shapes your thoughts, actions, and hopes. It means that God is deeply present and active in you.
As you consider your commitments for the coming year, we invite you to join us in exploring what it truly means to live with Christ not only in your heart but honored in your actions.
Christ is in Me: We experience this truth in prayer, worship, and walking alongside each other in faith. Christ in me compels us to serve with love, integrity, and vision.
Honored in My Heart & Actions: When we believe that Christ is in us, our whole way of living is transformed. Honoring Christ is not just a feeling we hold in our hearts – it’s a way of showing up in the world through our actions. Through our presence and our service, we make visible the love and grace of Christ.
Reach Out: Stewardship is not just about what we give – it’s about how we reach out. Christ within us calls us outward: to welcome the stranger, to comfort the grieving, to feed the hungry, and to proclaim good news in both word and deed. Our giving fuels this mission. It empowers our church to be a light in the community and a sign of God’s kingdom on earth.
Ideas & Imagination: This year, we are excited to explore new ideas and imagination for ministry – ways to deepen our spiritual life, engage our neighborhood, and support one another in faith. When you give, you are investing in possibilities. Your support brings both ideas and imagination to life.
Stewardship of Time, Treasure, & Talents: We all have something to offer. Whether it’s teaching a Sunday School class, singing in the choir, cooking a meal, or offering financial support – every gift matters. Stewardship is about offering our time, treasures, and talents with open hands and joyful hearts.
As you prayerfully consider your 2026 stewardship pledge, reflect on these questions:
- Where do you see Christ in your life?
- How is Christ calling you to grow, give, and serve?
- How might our church flourish if we all responded from a place of
Christ-centered generosity?
We invite you to join us in this stewardship journey. A pledge card and a time and talent pledge are enclosed. These two different pledge cards reflect your personal commitment to igniting the spirit within our church. We encourage you to pray about your response and consider how you can contribute to our shared vision. Your commitment not only supports our church but also fuels the work of God’s kingdom in our midst. Please bring your pledge cards to worship on Sunday, November 9th, Dedication Sunday.
May you continue to live in the joy and power of knowing: Christ is in you. And, because of that, the possibilities for love and transformation are endless. Thank you for walking alongside us as a part of Spring Branch Presbyterian Church.
Blessings,
Rev. Savannah Goodman and Rev. Mark Plunkett
