There are two basic ways we can orient our lives. We can live lives of entitlement  or lives of gratitude. Lives of entitlement entail believing the world owes us. Lives of gratitude entail believing that all we are and all we have are gifts from God.

This year’s stewardship theme is “Make a Joyful Noise to the Lord!” It is the opening verse of the 100th psalm which is considered the banner hymn of the Reformed tradition. It is a psalm that calls us to gratitude, demonstrated in our worship of God and how we live our lives.

This is a congregation that makes a joyful noise to the Lord on a regular basis. We make a joyful noise when we lift up our voices with gusto every Sunday morning. We also make a joyful noise when we serve others on a Day of Service, when we engage in Bible study, when we pray, and when we gather for fellowship. Whenever we turn our attention to building up the body of Christ, we are demonstrating our gratitude to God and making a joyful noise to the Lord.

As we look to 2024, we seek for this upcoming year to be one in which we continue to demonstrate our gratitude together. In the past year we have seen an increase in both our worship attendance and our stewardship. These are trends we need to continue to foster and encourage as we seek to grow into the body of Christ God is calling us to be.

This year’s goal is 1.4 million dollars. Please prayerfully consider how God is calling you to respond with gratitude in this upcoming year. Together, let us “Make a Joyful Noise to the Lord!”
