Stewardship:
Time and Talent = Volunteering
Treasure = Donating 

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
- Psalm 23:1

Then the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it.
-Genesis 2:15

Behold, to the Lord your God belong heaven and the highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it.
-Deuteronomy 10:14

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything;
you may have an abundance for every good deed.
- 2 Corinthians 9:8

What does it mean to be a Steward? It refers to the responsibility given to manage and increase something of value. It is a position requiring important decisions over how resources are protected and allocated.

God chose you before your were even born. He gave you unique talents and abilities to use for his glory here on earth. Everything in heaven and earth belongs to Our Father. While we are here, we need to thank God for our gifts and seriously ponder the ways we can manage that which has been granted to our care.

By making wise use of our financial and material resources, as well as nurturing talents and relationships that can be used to further His kingdom, we are practicing Stewardship.

Take time to develop this aspect of your spiritual health. By taking this responsibility seriously you free yourself from the worries of this temporal world and acknowledge the source of all your blessings.

Consider the many opportunities afforded you at First Presbyterian Church to use your Time / Talents / Treasures.
