COMMITTEE COMMENTARY:
Stewardship: When we hear the word “stewardship,” we are conditioned to think of money and fundraising. But stewardship is a much broader concept than these. A steward isn’t an owner but is instead a manager of what the owner has left in the steward’s care. In a church setting the three resources over which we have stewardship are time, talent, and money.
Unlike the variability in the amount of money we have, everyone is given the same amount of time: twenty-four hours each day. When midnight tolls, today’s allotted hours are gone. As stewards of our time, we are responsible for how we spend these hours. If we have not called our mother or our son, if we have not written that thank-you note, or if we have not told our spouse, our children, or our parents how much we love them, those opportunities are lost for today.
I suspect that our abilities to manage time vary as much as our abilities to manage money. Good stewardship asks us to get the most out of both, as well as the individual talents with which we each are blessed. As we prepare for our pledge campaign in October, please consider how each of yours can best be offered to God.
