Stewardship

Giving at St Catherine’s: Why AT not TO ?

Very often when the accounts are on the agenda, the importance of a Stewardship Campaign or at least Stewardship awareness floats back to the top of various lists. Some of the associated activity has included language like –  planned giving / pledges / financial commitments  / gift daysand the focus is a financial one.
In very many churches a/the fuller or broader understanding that Stewardship includes also the planned giving of
time and of gifts / experience we can share in the service of God and his church is lacking.

So, Giving AT St C includes all and any giving, not just financial which a TO would imply. Vocation or Volunteering is a culture we need to rediscover post-pandemic.
Once such a culture exists, then any new arrivals will slot in much more easily.
