An inspiring month-long journey into Stewardship!
Stewardship is rooted in a simple yet profound truth: everything we have, and everything we are, is a gift from God. As stewards, we are called to live with grateful hearts and generous spirits. This way of life invites us to reflect on four key principles:
Ownership: Recognizing that all we have belongs to God, who has entrusted it to us for care and use.
Accountability: Acknowledging that we are accountable to God for how we manage and share these gifts.
Gratitude: Living with a deep sense of gratitude for all God has provided, and responding with open hands and hearts.
Imitating Jesus: Following Christ’s example, making God's love visible through our actions and generosity.
Throughout this month, each week during the 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. services, members of Christ Church will share their personal experiences with Stewardship. We also have special presentations planned during the adult forum, diving deeper into how we can live out these principles in our daily lives.
Please check the schedule and join us for this meaningful journey of faith and gratitude!

Stewardship Prayer
Almighty God, our loving Creator and Giver of all good gifts, bless Christ Church as we discern how to recommit to Thee and Thy Church during this season of stewardship. Strengthen our faith and grant us the grace so that we may give generously of our time, talent and treasure in order to spread Thy Kingdom in our parish, our community and throughout the entire world. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
