1 Bethel Presbyterian Church Corner of George and Brookland Streets, Sydney, NS Our Mission: To share the gospel of Jesus Christ with our community in our worship and our living. Our Vision is to be a local community of believers where: Jesus Christ is head; The Bible has the ultimate authority as the true, infallible and complete Word of God; Salvation through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and belief in His finished work on the cross is preached; The Gospel of Christ is spread in our community, our nation and around the world in both work and action; - Believers encourage each other and hold others in higher regard than themselves so that each may use the gifts God has given him/her to the glory of God.

6 Mission Moments Creating new paths of generosity In April, members of the Stewards by Design planning committee attended the Pathways to Generosity conference at King of Glory Lutheran Church in Dallas, Texas. They were inspired by dynamic worship, a diverse group of keynote speakers and workshops on topics ranging from preaching stewardship, narrative budgets, stewardship and social media, legacy giving and the stewardship of creation. The team also met with Dr. Kennon Callahan, keynote speaker for the next Stewards by Design conference planned for May, Members returned home ready to create new paths of generosity in the PCC s stewardship ministry.
