Stewardship
Stewardship is responsibility for taking good care of resources entrusted to one. At St. David’s, we are being good stewards by taking care of each other and our neighbors through our financial support of our church family through an Annual Giving pledge. Additionally, we are good stewards by giving of our time, talent and energy to the many Ministry Opportunities offered at and through St. David’s. We are all asked to give back joyfully to God in thanksgiving for the abundance He has given us through our pledges of time, talent and treasure! Share your Priceless Joy!!
Each household should base their financial pledge upon a percent of income. Tithing (giving the first tenth or 10%) is a Holy Habit that should be the practice or goal of each member of St. David’s. If it is a goal, one can use increases in proportional giving to grow into this Holy Habit. Just as we grow in faith, we continually strive for growth in our stewardship response to meet this standard of giving.
All adults are also asked to complete and turn in a Time, Talent & Energy pledge card to indicate in which ministry opportunities they are active and interested. Interest in a ministry opportunity will result in contact from the lay leader to get more information about the opportunity and to get involved in it!
For 2007, nearly 600 members of our parish pledged to contribute over $1,470,000 to support our ministries and programs through our annual budget. Other ways members support God’s work at St. David’s are by donations to our Endowment Funds. Gifts to either will produce benefits for years to come. For details, contact our Stewardship Director Roxanne Ruggles at 472-1196.
Stewardship is providing care in many different ways – monetarily and through one’s time, talent and energy. However you practice stewardship at St. David’s, please know that it is recognized and appreciated by all who are affected by it. But, mostly, God loves you for it!
