Our 2026 Stewardship Theme: “Lead Me, Lord”

As we prepare for Consecration Sunday on October 18, Ashland Place United Methodist Church invites us to reflect on this year's stewardship theme, “Lead Me, Lord.” Inspired by Scripture and the imagery of still waters, we are reminded that God continues to guide us through every season of life. Through prayerful generosity and the sharing of our time, talents, and resources, we help sustain the ministries of Ashland Place while embracing the opportunities God has placed before us. Together, we are encouraged to take the next step in faith, trusting God's direction and growing in grace as we prepare for the 2027 ministry year.
