Stewardship

Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received. 1 Peter 4:10

Stewardship is most commonly associated with tithing or giving money to the church, but that's only part of what stewardship is.

At it's heart, stewardship is an act of discipleship rather than simple charity. Being stewards means taking care of the resources we've been granted. It means that we respond to God's call and God's grace by making careful choices, considering how our choices affect those around us and God's work in our world. We return to God not only the financial blessings we enjoy, but use our gifts, talents and time in His name.

What does that mean in practical terms? We pitch in. We respond to God's call, prayerfully and generously giving what we can of our finances, our time, our gifts and our talents.
