When we hear the word stewardship, we often think of money. And yes, how we handle money matters, but stewardship is so much more.
At Bethel, we recognize that our whole selves are gifts from God. Our attention, our creativity, our presence, our stories, our homes, our voices — each is a resource for love and justice.
Stewardship asks us: How am I using what God has given me to bless others?
This month, we’re invited to think beyond financial giving. We’re invited to think about our calendars. Our relationships. Our willingness to say “yes” to small acts of faithfulness.
Reflection
- Where am I being called to serve?
- How can I use my energy, gifts, or presence as an offering to God?
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others…
1 Peter 4:10
