Stewardship and COVID 19

We are asking those who support the ministries of our church to please continue to support the ministries of our congregation through your financial contributions. If you are able to give a little extra at this time, it would be greatly appreciated. You can mail personal checks. You can have the bank send a check to the church. And… you can give securely online (click here) or through the Vanco Mobile App on your phone. If you have any questions about ways to give, contact Joslyn Johnson, our Administrative Secretary, at admin@cornerstoneumc.net or 870.932.2718.

…Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you.
(Matthew 5:44)

As Christians we share together in what it means to live generously.  Stewardship is a matter of the heart. Proper stewardship is a spiritual matter. And it is holistic to life.

When our members join Cornerstone United Methodist Church, this question is asked:  “Will you be loyal to The United Methodist Church, and uphold it by your prayers, your presence, your gifts, your service and your witness?”

Prayers
Do you seek God’s blessing for our Cornerstone community of faith in your prayers? Do you ask for guidance in your daily walk and seek God’s direction for your life? Do you pray for those you know as well as those who have yet to enter your life?

Presence
Do you attend worship on a weekly basis unless you are sick or out of town? Are you plugged into a Sunday School class or small group where you can be present and grow in your spiritual formation with Christ?

Gifts
Are you tithing or working towards the tithe in giving to Cornerstone’s annual budgetary needs for ministry? Are you striving to reach beyond the tithe in your other gifts and offerings?

Service
Do you use your spiritual gifts and your life experience to serve others in the church, community and world? Does your personal use of time reflect this commitment?

Witness
Do you share your personal witness with others? Do you invite them to worship and other activities to expose them to the life changing  experience of Jesus Christ?
