Sunday Reflection - Week Five
Today is the last week of our five-week stewardship renewal program, Sharing Our Blessings 2018. Set aside 10-20 minutes to read the scripture passages below, reflect on them, and pray with them. This Wednesday you will receive a final action item via Flocknote that encourages you take stock of how you give thanks and renew your commitment to keeping the Sabbath holy in gratitude.
Reflection 1: Read Matthew 25: 14-30. Reflect on the rewards given to the two faithful servants. What does it mean that they will share in their master’s happiness? With God playing the role of master in this parable, what does it mean to share in the happiness of God?
Reflection 2: Read Rev 21: 1-8: Reflect on the eternal rewards given to God’s faithful people at the end of time. What reward, in particular, stands out to you as meaningful? Do you feel like you have given more freely of your time, talent, or treasure to make that reward somehow manifest in the here and now?

Watch for an email mid-week with action items to consider based on today's reflections.
