Stewardship

Christian Stewardship is…

learning how to be a responsible and concerned caretaker of Christ’s Church; it is learning how to enjoy Church life and be happy in Church
work., for in Her dwells the fullness of the Spirit of God. our active commitment to use all our time, talent and treasure for the
benefit of humankind in grateful acknowledgment of Christ’s redeeming love.
caring for the needs of others.
offering one’s self to God as He offered Himself to us.
what a person does after saying “I believe…”, as proof of that belief.
devotion and service to God and His Church as persons, as families, as diocese/metropolis, as national Church and as Church universal.
Christian Stewardship is about becoming good caretakers of all that God has given us. God has given each of us special and unique
gifts. And through Holy Scripture He teaches us all that we have is a loan. He lends everything to us, and reminds us that one day
He will ask us to give a detailed accounting of what we have done with the gifts He has given us. Archbishop Anastasios of Albania
has noted that “we find ourselves by offering ourselves.” Have we learned the blessedness of generously giving to others of all we have?
