The Stewardship Committee took a very active part in the ministry at Elmwood during 2004. The highlight of our effort was a five week "Celebrate Stewardship" Campaign, during which our minister provided sermons in keeping with the theme. The focus was on all aspects of stewardship.

In November we had a guest minister and a very moving service was presented. Each person in our congregation was invited to go forth with a written committment as to their intention for increasing support within the church.  This was not a pledge but an indication of intent, after careful consideration in communication between each individual and God.  Each person taking their committment forth received a blessing.
This service was followed by a wonderful time of fellowship and celebration at a luncheon provided off site.
