Let This Indeed Be a Place <strong>of</strong> Vision for Us...<br />
Our <strong>St</strong>ewardship Future<br />
• Giving and Growing for Generations<br />
– We take pride in our outreach and we are inclusive in our<br />
outreach, providing services to anyone in need.<br />
– We foster relationships, which creates a faith community that<br />
celebrates and supports diversity and creates a sense <strong>of</strong> security<br />
for our members.<br />
– We have a heritage <strong>of</strong> being a positive force in our community<br />
and want to nurture and sustain that legacy to create a strong<br />
future.<br />
– We are a part <strong>of</strong> Christ’s body in the world, called to love, preach,<br />
teach, feed, heal and challenge ourselves and our community to<br />
promote justice, reconciliation and compassion.<br />
