Stewardship – I

When Jesus talks about praying and giving and fasting in secret, he is not talking about hiding. He’s talking about connection..with God. Our focus should be on God. Our giving ought to be a reflection of our relationship with God. When we embark on stewardship, it’s an invitation to think about our intention. Not how much, but does it reflect our intention, our relationship with God. Do we care that our resources help the mission of our church; provide our children a place to learn about God; be able to gather at a place to think for ourselves about what to believe rather than be told what to believe; help folks living on the edge of poverty. Jesus says, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Jesus invites us to align our inner life with our outer witness. We want to continue to be a place that welcomes all, loves all, seeks justice and offers mercy for all.
