SUMMARY:Stewardship 2024: Good and Trustworthy Servants
DESCRIPTION:During Fairfax UMC’s annual Stewardship season\, we celebrate what God has done through our church\, and we consider how we can be good and trustworthy servants of Christ with eyes and hearts focused on the joy of the future. Our Stewardship emphasis this year is from Matthew 25:21: “His master said to him\, ‘Well done\, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things; I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.” This year’s Stewardship Sundays are October 13\, 20\, and 27; each Sunday offers a different way to celebrate\, connect with\, and invest in Fairfax UMC.
