Goal: To make the parish strong and vital
for future generations.
"Today, we pray that we may be God's stewards, women and men whose lives are planted by streams of water, who live life to the fullest, who treasure and nourish the precious gift of faith, and who make this parish strong and vital for the generations to come."
~ The Rector
Stewardship Committee
The Stewardship Committee provides education on the theology and practice
of stewardship through sermons, neighborhood meetings, brochures, workshops,
and parish forums. The Committee seeks to increase
awareness of the abundance we enjoy is a gift from God and how we can make
a joyful response to this gift by returning a portion to God. The Committee
fosters participatory as well as financial stewardship -- the practice
of giving Time, Talent, and Treasure. A key to stewardship of money is
proportional giving, that is, giving a definite proportion of one's income
to God's work and increasing that portion by one percent this year. Co-Chair: Jeff Hickey (617-484-0284) hicmont@hotmail.com Co-Chair: Marianne Evett (781-316-8470)
