Who ever wants to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave--just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Matthew 20:26-28 At Spanish Fort UMC, we know that we are "saved to serve." The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 12 that we are the body of Christ, each of us with different gift and abilities. We are told that there are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. Each of us has an opportunity and responsibility to live out our faith in how we serve God both individually and as a church family. As believers, we are called to go to Jerusalem(local), Judea(area), Samaria(regional), and the ends of the earth(international) proclaiming the Good News and serving God. We have a responsibility to our neighbor. This is a call that we take very seriously. You will find in this area many opportunities to get involved with what God is doing in our church, neighborhood, our county, our country and the world. Let God direct you as you see where you can serve Him.
Our Stewardship emphasis is focusing on our commitment to Christ and renewing our vows of supporting SFUMC by our: gifts-10 per cent of our income, service/study-20 hours/month, prayers-30 people (10 each inside our church, in our family, in the community), presence-40 Sundays in worship; for a total of 100, our witness with our commitments in 2012..."the 100 plan."
