The Stewardship Committee works to foster: involvement by members in the church’s ministries; spiritual growth; stewardship training; personal contacts with other members; as well as generous and responsible financial offerings (including planned gifts). In short, Christian stewardship is the good management of our time, talents and treasures for the glory of God. Over the past few years, the Committee has also been involved in a variety of environmental stewardship activities (stewarding Creation).
As generous saints here at Parkdale, seeking to be obedient and faithful to God in the way in which we live out our faith and life in the congregation and beyond, we need to ask ourselves: 1. What are we worth to God? 2. What are those whom God has called us to serve in ministry worth to God? 3. What is our congregation's mission worth to us? 4. How vibrant and responsive do we want our congregation to be? 5. What is required of us to generously support this mission and this vibrancy? 6. What more do we have available to give, and when? ”They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous,
and ready to share, thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good
foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really
is life.” 1 Timothy 6:18-19 |
