Stewards of a Past and a Future
By The Right Rev. Todd Townshend
In every age Christians are guided by the Holy Spirit of God to give attention to both the things close at hand and the things out beyond the horizon.

Stewardship Is a Way of Life
A financial commitment is one important expression of stewardship, but it is not the whole story. Every day we decide how we will use our time, our abilities, our relationships, and our resources. Stewardship is not a season on the Church calendar — it is a lifelong practice of following Christ.
