Stewardship 2022 "Given Grace/Giving Grace" 

“Given Grace/Giving Grace” is the theme for our Stewardship Emphasis this Fall.  You’ll be hearing from the Stewardship committee through the month of October as they will be speaking about the ways God has blessed and graced us as a congregation as we’ve moved through these very difficult times.  We’ve been given grace, and that means we have this opportunity to give grace so that others may know the love of Christ. 

Stewardship materials will also be mailed out during the month, and we look forward to Dedication Sunday when church members will offer their pledges for the coming year on November 7.

What is a Steward
?In the Christian sense, a steward is the manager of the affairs of God on earth.  God has made each of us a steward and given us abilities and talents that are unique.  We should use these abilities and talent to serve God in how we respect and care for ourselves, each other and the world.

A Christian steward serves God out of love and gratitude for these gifts.  We share our time, talents and property, knowing that it’s not how much we have but what we do with what we have that is important.
​
Stewardship of Time – whatever time we have is a gift from God and we must use wisely in every activity.  We must budget our time so that we are able to help fulfill God’s plan
Stewardship of Talents – God gives all people potential talents – each of us can share in God’s plan in our own way
Stewardship of Relationships – Our relationships with others are a gift from God:  at home, at work and in Church
Stewardship of the Gospel – As Christian stewards, we are called to receive the Gospel, to share the Gospel and to reflect the Gospel in our everyday lives
Stewardship of Property – we know that whatever we have is a gift from God.  In appreciation, we choose to share a financial portion of these gifts
​
We are called to give generously and regularly of time, talents and our possessions.
