This commission helps us become aware of how to live stewardship by sharing our gifts through time, talent and treasure. The Stewardship Commission helps the parish keep stewardship as our focus of activities.
What is Stewardship?
Stewardship is a way of life. It is a central theme of the Bible, which tells us that we are accountable to God for all the gifts of time, talent and treasure that God entrusts to us. Further, the emphasis is on the personal need of each one of us to return to God a truly grateful portion of our time, talent and treasure in thanksgiving for all that God has given us.
What is Sacrificial Giving?
Sacrificial giving is a spiritually motivated way for us to carry out the stewardship of our treasure (our money) based on four principles:
1. We return a first portion of our income in gratitude to God.
2. Our gift is a sacrifice.
3. We use the Biblical tithe, 10 percent of our income as a guide for giving.
4. We contribute on a planned basis by using envelopes, automatic withdrawal or credit cards.
