November 2019
To the People of God at Wailuku Union Church, The people of this congregation are worshipful and generous stewards of the gifts they have received from God. The fiber of their character is loving, caring and faithful. They have always risen to the occasion and accomplished capital campaigns that; repaired the stained glass windows, purchased a new organ and paid for the roofs on Sanderson and Ritter Hall. Your generosity continues to keep our church solvent in a time when other congregations are struggling. The Biblical rule for tithing is a tenth of our income, but cheerfulness and proportional giving are other guidelines of how to give to God. It is more important to realize that everything we have comes from God. We are to be stewards of God’s good gifts. God even gives us a portion to use in worship. Remember how our parents would give us coins for our offering when we went to Sunday School? This is exactly what God does for us today as adults. Imprinted on this letter is a pledge form for the year 2020. Think about what you have in prayer, and give thanks for it. Then consider an amount that you would like to give; weekly, bi-monthly or monthly. You can also designate amounts to different ministries of the church as the Spirit leads;
Add those designated amounts to the total and pray. “Thank you God for everything that you have given me. Accept these gifts as a token of my worship, thanksgiving, stewardship and participation in your mission in the world. Amen” How does it feel? Make any adjustment as necessary and fill out the pledge card. Bring it to Sunday service and place it in the offering plate. This is a commitment between God and you and can be changed at any time, for any reason without letting us know. Just let God know. Practicing this kind of control over our finances is a type of stewardship that helps us to appreciate what we have and plan to be generous with what God has given. Thank you for practicing your stewardship with us. God be Praised! Join the WUC Choir...
