Christian stewardship begins with the premise that everything in the world belongs to God. The resources we have and even our own selves belong to God. God had entrusted us with many gifts, and the appropriate response from us is to manage those gifts the best we can. Stewardship is about lifestyle - making choices in all aspects of our lives that enable us to live with a spirit of thanksgiving and gratitude for God’s love and generosity.
October 5th “One Loaf” World Communion Sunday
Mark 8:14-21
Theme: Stewardship is all about how we use the gifts God has given us for his work. Sometimes we seem to have so little. And that makes us think like the world and want to hoard and preserve what we have. But remember, Jesus is in the boat with us. He can multiply the one loaf we have.
October 12th "Stewardship 101”
Genesis 2:4-9, 15-17
Theme: And God lets us use these things. But the bottom line is that it's all God's. We are only the caretakers of God's possessions. And the earlier we acknowledge that then the easier tithing and stewardship and all of life will be.
October19th “ Not to Be Served, But to Serve”
Mark 10:35-45
Theme: If you want to be great in the Kingdom of God, then follow Jesus' example. He came not so that others could wait on him had and foot. He cam to serve and to dies for others. In the same vein we should give ourselves 100% to him.

1 Peter 4:10
