Celebrate the Journey, Dream the Dream!

 

That’s the theme the Stewardship Committee has selected for this year.  We have been richly blessed over the years by the congregation’s generous outpouring of time, talent and treasure.  As we go forward together, let’s take time to celebrate the ministries our stewardship dollars have made possible.  Over the coming months, we’ll hear from members of the congregation sharing how they have been blessed by the ministries of Sunday School, worship, adult classes, fellowship & outreach, youth programs, and local mission.  That will set the stage, as we start to dream the dream of our future here at Tustin Presbyterian Church.
