Stewardship

Broad Bay seeks your pledges for 2015 and will dedicate them as part of the worship service.  As part of a recent letter on stewardship, Nancy Duncan wrote: 

God is not confined to the church.

In the Bible, God shows up in the fields, at the mountain, in the bull rushes, at the well, on the road to Emmaus, at the cross and at the empty tomb.

Church is where we tell the story.

Church is where we share one another’s encounters with God. Church is where we question, worship, pray, laugh and cry.

Church is the place where we stand together  at the cross

with broken hearts only to be surprised

by the mysterious hope of resurrection.

Our shared stories of God’s mercy, our ministry, and our worship transforms lives.

Your gifts of prayers, money, encouragement enable this ministry. To make a pledge for 2016, email us. 

Checks may be mailed to Broad Bay Congregational United Church of Christ, 941 Main Street, PO Box 161, Waldoboro, ME 04572
