More Than Enough
Christian Stewardship is how we show our gratitude for all the gifts God has given us. We are called to be intentional, responsible caretakers of those gifts. Giving back through actions, words, and deeds is our way of saying,Thank you!
The tradition of giving back to God and to the church comes from the Biblical practice of “tithing,” which means to give back a tenth of our earnings to God (Numbers 18:26).
The Episcopal Church sees stewardship as more than simply contributing money to the church; it’s also about contributing time and talents and volunteering for ministry and mission. It’s about reaching out to build relationships from a perspective of abundance instead of scarcity.
