Stewardship
Stewardship means:
-
Placing God first in our lives
-
Recognizing all we have and all we are as a gift from God
-
Planning how we choose to give
-
Gratefully responding to God’s invitation
A Christian steward is one who:
-
Receives God’s gifts gratefully
-
Cultivates them responsibly
-
Shares them lovingly in justice with others
-
Returns them with increase to the Lord
STEWARDSHIP PRAYER
Lord,
Help us remember that Christ has no hands on Earth but mine. Our parish will be holy if I am holy.
Its pews will be filled
when I help fill them.
It will be generous
if I am generous
And faithful if I am faithful.
Help me to share my
talents, treasure, and time
For Christ has no hands
on Earth but mine.
Amen
