Stewardship Snippet - July 4, 2021
“Three times I appealed to the Lord about this [my weakness], that it would leave me, but he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.”
2 Corinthians 12: 8-9
Paul never reveals his “weakness,” but he does tell us that God’s grace is sufficient for him, and his power is made perfect in weakness. If you are differently abled or live with a chronic condition, don’t despair. God’s love and power and purpose flow through you.

Three Expressions of the Church
We are part of one church body organized in three expressions — congregations, synods, and the churchwide organization. Each expression has its particular functions but all three together share a common mission of doing God’s work in the world and proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ. Together, they ensure a solid foundation of leadership, active involvement in communities, opportunities for dialogue and diverse perspectives, creative partnerships, and support for members and ministries of the ELCA.
