How you can be a Steward for St. Mark's
Living a life of stewardship means recognizing that everything we have and everything we are is a gift from God, and then managing those gifts responsibly and generously. It's about understanding that our lives and resources are entrusted to us, not owned by us, and that we should use them wisely for God's glory and the benefit of others.
Here's a more detailed look at what it means to live a life of stewardship:
1. Recognizing God's Ownership:
- We are stewards, not owners, of our time, talents, treasure, and the resources entrusted to us.
- This perspective leads to a sense of gratitude and responsibility for managing God's gifts wisely.
Examples of Living a Life of Stewardship:
- Supporting local charities and ministries: Giving time and resources to help those in need.
- Being a good steward of the environment: Practicing responsible waste management, conserving resources, and protecting the natural world.
- Using your talents to serve others: Volunteering your skills, offering your expertise, or sharing your gifts with those who need them.
- Managing your finances wisely: Budgeting, saving, investing, and giving to support worthy causes.
