The Congregational Resources Committee gathers financial and human resources to support the ministries at LCOS. Our major responsibility is to conduct the stewardship campaign each fall to ask members for pledges so that the financial officers can plan the budget for the coming year. We meet once a month, 9-10 months each year, for 45 minutes to an hour.
Through the year we keep the congregation in-formed about giving and spending with updates in the Sunday worship bulletins and in The Messenger.
For each of the last two years as part of the stewardship campaign, we have compiled a booklet for members to share their faith. One was a collection of stories about God working in individuals’ lives, and one was a collection of prayers. This year we will ask members of the congregation to tell their stories about why they joined LCOS.
We also do the mailings for the stewardship campaigns and the individual giving statements.
We would like to have a few more people join the committee. If you would like to help with any of these efforts, contact Laura Oakes.
