Cultivating Fruitfulness
Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations
• Radical Hospitality
• Passionate Worship
• Intentional Faith Development
• Risk-Taking Mission and Service
• Extravagant Generosity
We have looked at each of these ideas and how they relate to our church as a congregation.
Vibrant, fruitful, growing congregations practice extravagant generosity. They encourage their
church members to grow in the grace of giving as an essential practice of Christian discipleship.
Hopefully, you have enjoyed our messages and are ready to make your promise real by
pledging to support our church, its mission, and its place in our world. If you have already
offered your pledge, thank you. It is never too late to fill out a pledge form.
Thank you for your support of our congregation’s ministries, programs, and mission.
Your Stewardship Committee
Cathy Knight, Tom Jastermsky, Diana Majchrzak, Peggy Segur,
Nancy Urquhart, Mary Kay and Dave Skinnon
