Here is a simple test to help measure our attitudes regarding stewardship in our congregation It is a true/false format for easy use:
- I find it very difficult to talk candidly about money with almost everyone.
- It’s easy for me to think about the time and money I invest in church because it’s important for me to commit to what I think is important.
- It makes me defensive when you ask me to volunteer to give more time or money to support the church. We get this way too often during the year.
- I feel lucky and satisfied that my church work and financial contributions help sustain the people who work and donate to support each other and our common goals.
Our success in providing a vibrant social and spiritual gathering place seems like magic, but is evidence of successful behind the scenes work done by individuals connected by faith in each other and our future.
