REFLECTIONS ON CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP

 

In First Corinthians 16:2, Paul writes, "Upon the first day of the week let everyone of you lay by him in store, as God has prospered him."

 

Within the context of our Lord's victory over death, there are things that Christians must be concerned about, not the least of which is setting aside and giving systematically a proportion of what is earned and received on a regular basis. In addition, we should also give "as the spirit moves us," over and beyond our 'measured' and self-imposed limit. In this way, we share, as part of the body of Christ, with others in a creating, giving and receiving process.

 

A Stewardship Program is a means by which everyone can belong, as long as an honest share is offered. Your commitment is a matter of establishing your Church as a priority in your life and contributing your Fair Share, in terms of your time, talent and treasure.

 

As Christians who are concerned with the Church of today and tomorrow, we must become Stewards in every sense of the word. We must willingly give of our time, abilities, services and resources to see that the work of our Lord is done. Stewardship is serious business; and we must take the work of the Church seriously, in order to promote its growth and development. We ask that, in viewing your role as a Christian Steward, you reflect upon your Church, not as mortar and bricks, but, rather, a meeting place for the faithful to gather together and drink from the cup of Life.

 

Christ said,..."Whoever drinks from the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."(St. John 4:14)

 

Through actively participating in a Stewardship Program, we believe we will be provided with such a spring of water. It will enable the thousands of faithful, who are part of our beloved Church family, to experience the joy of Jesus Christ and the promised blessings.
