Time


The call to conversion is a call to the realization of God’s presence in our lives.  We recognize that all we have is a gift and, in our giftedness, we are drawn to return to the Giver. 

We acknowledge this first in the stewardship of our time. Accepting the Biblical model of returning 10% of the “first fruits” to the Lord, we attempt to utilize at least 10% of our time for prayer, reflection, and works of mercy and ministry.
