Stewardship as a Way of Life

Christian stewardship gives us a new understanding of our lives and how we should live. However,
before we can practice stewardship, what is required is seeing the world and our relationship to it
through eyesdivine eyes. Stewardship is the fruit
of personal transformation.

All good giving and every perfect gift is

from above, coming down from the Father
of lights
James 1:17

no longer able to come to church regularly, but they
remain a loved and cared about member of our parish
community. How can we help them?

Volunteer to visit a homebound member

Volunteer to bring communion
Volunteer to transport someone to church with
you
Pray for the volunteers and the homebound
Pray that they understand how treasured they are
in Gods eyes

know of someone who could benefit from it, please
