First Baptist Church of St. Paul, MN recently had a stewardship retreat
at beautiful Lake Minnetonka Regional Park.
The retreat was inspired by the Generosity Project
that Pastor Sheila Ahlbrand participated in last year.
Participants learned more about the definition of stewardship
and how to start thinking of stewardship in a broader way.
They also spent time in gratitude and in prayer.
Everyone had a wonderful time as they shared in discussion, food,
and thinking about a vision for the future of the church.
