Ivy Chapel will conclude our special emphasis season of Stewardship with Consecration Sunday on October 11. On this day we will receive and bless the pledges submitted for calendar year 2027.
After worship, we invite all present to celebrate this season with a fellowship luncheon. Menu will include a taco bar with beef, chicken and vegetarian options plus dessert. Join us in this celebration!
“There Our Hearts Will Be” invites us into a season of deep spiritual alignment—an honest, hopeful exploration of how our practices, priorities, and resources reveal what truly claims our hearts. Rooted in Jesus’ teaching from Matthew 6, this theme reframes giving not as performance or obligation, but as the quiet, courageous work of placing our hearts in God’s care. Turning to the breadth of our sacred scripture, we’ll examine what we love, whom we trust, and how we live out our faith.
Ultimately, There Our Hearts Will Be is an invitation to:
o Re-center our lives on God’s quiet faithful presence.
o Let our giving reflect our deepest values and commitments.
o Align our actions with our confession of Christ.
o Allow God to transform, heal and renew our hearts.
o Practice a generosity that is not performative, but rooted, joyful and Spirit-led.
Through this journey, we will discover again that faithful stewardship is not primarily about money—it is about placing our hearts in God’s hands, trusting that where our hearts go, our lives, choices, and resources will follow.
Together as a community shaped by grace, we will ask: Where is our treasure? How can our hearts more fully align with God’s?
In this season, we commit to making our answer clear.
There our hearts will be.
