OLC is now accepting membership to the stewardship ministry. All those willing to join OLC stewardship ministry, please sign up on the registration sheet in the back of the church.
The Bishops’ Pastoral Letter of 1992, Stewardship: A Disciple’s Response, defines stewardship in the following way:
“A Christian steward is one who receives God’s gifts gratefully, cherishes and tends them in a responsible and accountable manner, shares them in justice and love with others and returns them with increase to the Lord.”
The Pastoral Letter goes on to say:
“Each member of the Church shares in responsibility for its mission; each is called to practice Stewardship of the Church. Christians are also called to look outward and to place themselves at the service of the entire human community, especially those who are most in need.”
The Diocese of Charlotte had developed an explanation of stewardship.
