Come and See: You are a Member of the Body of Christ
STEWARDHIP CORNER
Bill Evans, Stewardship Chair
Building Up the Body of Christ
With our invitation to “Come and See,” we have discovered a new perspective about faith, about Church, about love, about salvation and about Stewardship! Acquiring this new perspective, coming from the heart and joining with others, we will see the world as God’s gift. Viewing our Stewardship from this new perspective will give our church the power and means to invite others to “Come and See”. To see what our Church can become, not just surviving, but expanding, serv- ing and witnessing for God. Come and See! It involves teaching ourselves how to create a life built upon the notion that all that we have is a gift from God. Sometimes even invoking increased risk to experiment with sacrificial giving in order to help the community realize critical and important goals and programs.
The ultimate goal of St. Catherine’s Stewardship Program is to fund 100% of the operating budget through stewardship contributions. This will enable the use of funds generated from special events to be directed toward up- grading facilities, building new vital ministries, and new out- reach programs to further Christ’s work through our par- ish. We strive to encourage Stewards to volunteer their time and talent to enrich the ministries of our Church. Fostering involvement develops fresh ideas and new perspectives. This leads to a renewed spirit of energy, enthusiasm and growth in each of us as members of the body of Christ.
Many blessings and thanks to all of our Stewards!
