Stewardship: Week Three
2025-11-16 | Holy Cross Lutheran Church (Worship Building), 1590 Sebesta Road, College Station, TX, 77845, United States
A Stewardship Journey for God’s Church
Stewardship isn’t fundraising; it’s faith in action. God calls His people to use their time, talents, and treasures for His Kingdom – not out of guilt, but out of gratitude for the Gospel – so that His Church may thrive, His Gospel may advance, and His people may live with open hands and generous hearts. This series explores what happens when God’s grace reshapes how we live, give, and serve. Join us at 8:15am or 10:45am this Sunday to hear this message.

November 16: “The Church that Commits” – Our commitments rise from grace, as we dedicate our lives to Him alone.

True stewardship begins with grace and ends with joy!

Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.” (Hebrews 12:1-3)
Held every 3 years since 1980, the LCMS Youth Gathering provides thousands of youth and adults the opportunity to come together as a community of God’s people to be encouraged in their walk with Jesus Christ and learn about the Christian faith and their Lutheran identity.
