Stewardship is complicated, but not really. It is about recognizing God created everything and entrusts all that goodness in our care.
Each week, our pastor listens to the assigned gospel for the good news as it applies to the above definition of stewardship.
In about 175 words, he suggests where we might find stewardship in the gospel, in our community, and how we can put it into practice.
It is not really as boring as that sounds. Read one, or two; you might come away feeling the good news.
