This year’s stewardship campaign, “Tell Out My Soul” is a colorful celebration of how God created us and how we relate to each other and our world. “Tell Out My Soul” shares Mary’s joy in Luke 1:46 as she recounts God’s mighty deeds and promises. Each of us, like Mary, have stories of how our Creator has blessed us and guided us.
