Stewardship: Please pray for God's will in your relationship to the Parish, Your Time, Talent and Treasure are gifts from God, please give back in Joy and Thanksgiving! Stewardship is a complete lifestyle, a life of total accountability and responsibility acknowledging God as Creator and Owner of all. Stewards as disciples of Jesus Christ see themselves as caretakers of all God's gifts. Gratitude for these gifts is expressed in prayer, worship, offering, and action by eagerly sharing these gifts out of love of God and one another. (NCSC 1993) It is based on the spiritual principles of the Old Testament and the teachings of Jesus; and where it has been implemented, both givers' and receivers' lives have been changed. Stewardship is a way of life, a way of thanking God for all His blessings by returning a portion of time, talent, and treasure allotted to us - it is responsible management of our God-given resources of time, talent, and treasure. It enhances our relationship with God and one another. |
