On the Radio

Filed under: Uncategorized — mike @ 11:30 am

As I drove to work today, I listened to KBIA, the classical/NPR station in town. They are doing their pledge drive. A piece finished–it was Grieg’s Piano Concerto in a, and the announcer said something like, “I hope you enjoyed that, and I hope you’ll consider pledging for our fall fundraising campaign.” AHH! It’s everywhere you look. People are asking for our money. And what’s worse, as a pastor, I am one of those people! AHH! But I understand it–we need money to be active in the community, to be involved in the ministry of Christ in this corner of Missouri. So, I talk about money, pledging and stewardship. The thing I like best about stewardship in the Presbyterian Church–and I never would’ve thought about this before–is that it allows me to think about the future. What will next year be like? What can we do? How can we respond to God’s call in 2009? It’s a great question to ask and to dream about. I hope you will dream about it with me. But I definitely plan on turning OFF the radio!
