GETTING INVOLVED Stewardship is based on the spiritual
principles of the Old Testament and the teachings of Jesus. It is a way of
thanking God for all His gifts, cherishing and tending them in a responsible and
accountable manner, sharing them in justice and love with others, and returning
them with increase to the Lord. Please consider making a commitment to
stewardship of time, talent and treasure a part of your lifestyle. Here
are some opportunities for you to participate in giving, which is greatly
appreciated.
