Cut this card along the line and keep this half for
yourself. Remember to keep your promise to God and to the Kirk.
It is the time of
year when we make decisions about the promises we would like to make to God and
to our church. The adults of the church are thinking about how they will give
their time and gifts with their money. Their promises are called their pledge.
A pledge is like a promise.
You will hear the word “stewardship”. Stewardship is simply caring for,
using and sharing the gifts God has given us. We can find ways to share our
time and our talents with others. Good
stewards are people who help protect and care for the earth and all of
its creatures. We take care of our health and bodies that God has given us. We
give our money to the church to share our blessings with others and help do
God’s work. We tell others about Christ and our faith. We love others as God
has loved us.
Inside this card is
a list of things you can do for your church. Read it carefully and mark the
things you would like to promise to God and the Kirk this year. On Sunday November 11, bring your
Promise Card to worship. During the service you can put it in a basket at the
front of the sanctuary.
What are your gifts?
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In a church we use
our gifts together. How many ways do
you see people at the Kirk sharing their gifts and talents? How does the Kirk
help its own members? How does the Kirk help people outside of the church? What
gifts are shared during worship? Who is sharing their gifts with us during
Sunday School?
List the ways you
see Kirk members sharing their gifts:

Ask your parents
about the promises they are making to the Kirk and the promises you can make on
this promise card.
