The annual Stewardship Banquet at First Baptist Church is always a special evening, bringing our church family together around a warm, delicious meal and uplifting fellowship. This gathering is more than just a dinner—it is a meaningful time to reflect on God’s blessings and to be reminded of the privilege we have to use those blessings for His glory. As families and friends sit together around the table, conversations and laughter fill the room, creating an atmosphere of unity and gratitude.

Throughout the afternoon, guests are encouraged not only by the food before them but by the intentional reminders of God’s faithfulness. Testimonies, Scripture, and thoughtful reflections highlight how the Lord continues to guide, provide, and sustain His people. These moments help us see that stewardship is not simply a task or obligation, but a joyful expression of worship. It is an opportunity to acknowledge God as the giver of all things and to respond to His goodness with willing and obedient hearts.

One of the core messages of the banquet is that stewardship reaches far beyond finances. While giving generously and managing our resources wisely is an important part of Christian living, God calls us to something even deeper. We are stewards of our time, our talents, our relationships, and our influence. The banquet challenges each of us to examine how we are using every area of our lives to honor Christ. Whether through serving others, investing in our families, growing in spiritual disciplines, or sharing the gospel, we are reminded that every moment is an opportunity to live out faithful stewardship.

As the afternoon concludes, we pray you leave encouraged, renewed, and committed to living more intentionally for Jesus Christ. The Stewardship Banquet at First Baptist Church serves as a yearly reminder that stewardship is not a seasonal emphasis but a lifelong calling. With full hearts and a renewed vision, our church family continues forward, determined to steward our lives—our finances, our time, and our gifts—in a way that brings honor to the One who has given us everything.
