We are all stewards of some possessions and influence. We are not likely to manage well unless we acknowledge that we are managers. The ways we use money, time, abilities, influence, and relationships are interrelated. To bring any one aspect into a relationship with Christ will affect every other area. Then explore what that will mean in your daily life, in your congregation, and in your community.
Most congregations struggle with the relationship between stewardship and finance.
Stewardship includes finance but is not limited to funding matters. We urge you, as a leader in the church, to help the congregation see stewardship as a faith discipline rather than as a task. Notice the places where people are anxious. Older persons often feel that they have abilities and wisdom to share but are being ignored. They also may fear that they will outlive their financial resources.
