I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.

2 Corinthians 8:8-9 (NIV)

Welcome to the Legacy Stewardship Campaign web site. We are excited to offer a place for you to go to learn more about biblical principles of stewardship, discover how the campaign is progressing, and witness what God is doing in lives through testimonies of His faithfulness. Please plan to return to this site often to view the updates.

The Legacy campaign begins with prayer. Throughout the Legacy it is strongly encouraged that you ask the Lord what He wants you to do through your life to impact Bethany and its destiny. Beginning Saturday, August 25th, the 6pm corporate prayer time in the Memorial Chapel will be focused on praying for God's guidance and understanding during this campaign.

Wealth of Time

If you had a bank that credited your account each morning with $86,400, that carried over no balance from day to day, and allowed you to keep no cash in your account, and every evening canceled whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day, what would you do? Draw out every cent, of course.

Well, you have such a bank, and its name is "Time." Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it rules off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balances. It allows no overdrafts. Each day it opens a new account with you. Each night it burns the records of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against tomorrow. You must live in the present-on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!

Only one life
'Twill soon be past,
Only what is done for the Lord
Will last!
