St. Paul's is on a faith journey
to make stewardship a way of life.
We invite you to join with us on our journey. It will change your life
forever.
"As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one
another
as good stewards of God's varied grace". (1 Peter 4:10 NAB)

What is Stewardship?
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
-
Stewardship is having the wisdom
to understand that everything we have is a gift from
God
of which we are to be the absolute best caretakers.
-
Stewardship is a way of life,
honoring God in everything we do with all His gifts.
Living life God-centered rather than self-centered
... thinking of Him first before our own wants.
-
Stewardship is having the heart to
give back out of love a portion of every gift that
has been entrusted to us by God.
-
Stewardship is living life with
the understanding that some day God will ask each
and every one of us what we did with all of His
varied gifts.
-
Stewardship is a life long faith
journey that brings us ever closer to Jesus Christ;
following the path He so perfectly laid out for us
through His life example.
-
Stewardship is life altering and
its rewards last an eternity.

What are two great examples of
Stewardship?
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
One
"For God so loved the world
that he gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes
in
Him might not perish but might have eternal life."
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
This is the ultimate act of stewardship that God did for
us.
What gift can we give to God in return for the greatest
gift of all ... His Son ... Jesus Christ.
Live your life here on earth God-centered rather than
self-centered.
Honor God first in everything you do, and everything you
do will be for Him. |

Two
"Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but
they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven
so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living
bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this
bread will live forever;
and the BREAD that I will give is MY FLESH for the life
of the world." (John 6:49-51 NAB) |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The Holy Eucharist: All over the world Jesus Christ
shares His body and blood
with us in the Holy Eucharist as "real food" to nourish
our soul.
This is Christ sharing His body, blood, soul and
divinity with us every day.
It is the holiest act of stewardship. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Live life God-centered
rather than self-centered. |

A Stewardship Prayer |
|
|
|
|
| |
Dear Lord,
I pray that You give me the wisdom
to guide me on this faith journey of
stewardship.
Help me to understand that
everything I have is a gift from You.
Open up my heart and my mind so
that I may use these marvelous
gifts to give back to You here on earth.
I pray Lord that You welcome me
into Your kingdom at the end of
my life and that You are pleased
with what I have done with
all Your gifts.
Amen |
