November 16 - Stewardship Sunday
November 16th is Stewardship Sunday. The following article is from Parish Publishing and will help us think about managing what God has given us.
MY STEWARDSHIP BELIEFS
I am Steward over my life. My purpose is to use God's gifts of time, talent, and treasure that others can come to know God through my life. In other words, I live my religion.
I am Steward to my family, my relatives, my neighbors and my fellowman everywhere. I give them my love and share my life and bounty with them.
I am Steward to my church. I give it my time, my best thought and talents. I support it financially. I extend to all the warmth of my love of God, whether members, or strangers. I pray that my church can be the conscience of the community, encouraging brotherhood, curbing inhumanity.
I am Steward to my community and any of the agencies that serve it, to ensure that the authority it wields is God inspired.
I am Steward over my corner of God's Earth. I seek to preserve its productivity and beauty for this and future generations.
First and last, I am a steward. I am dedicated to a life of service to both God and man, for all of my days, in everything I do or say. And I thank God that this is my lot and portion. - W. Coburn
