Stewardship

Time ~ Talents ~ Treasures

God has so richly blessed our lives that we choose to respond to his love in the way we use our time, actions toward others, talents, and skills that are uniquely ours and the return of money toward God's work.

There is always a way to give!

May God bless the giver and the gift.

God gives all his people spiritual gifts for their mutual benefit and for the progress of his kingdom. 
Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12

God's Work In Progress
In 2009 the church underwent a major remodel in the Sanctuary, Narthex, & Restrooms. See the work here. Our congregation is on a mission! We are paying down the 2009 mortgage very quickly! Down from $300,000 to $150,000 in January 2014 to $139,014.00 currently. WOW!

Good Search

Do you spend time on the internet? 

Did you know that you can give St. Paul 1 cent for every search you make on the internet? 

It is very easy to sign up. Just enter your name and email address and the organization you'd like to earn money for, "Saint Paul Lutheran Church of Port Huron" will get you started on supporting the church. 

You can even set it to your default search engine, to replace Yahoo, Google, etc. (it is powered by Yahoo so the search results will be great!).

Do you shop on the internet? Good Search also has Good Shop right at the top of the page and when you click through one of their stores (Amazon is one!), St. Paul's gets a % of the purchase. 

This site keeps a running tally for you of how much you've made for the church. 

If you need help getting signed up as a supporter for St. Paul, contact me here. Below is a video explanation of how Good Search works.

 Here are a few ways you can help support St. Paul and our charity work.
