Reflections on the Stewardship Theme for 2008

- Living Bread: Food for the Hungry Soul -

 Our lives are an on going story of growing, making and sharing. We grow our education, we grow our careers and we grow our families. Once we have grown the things we feel necessary for a full life, we still need to make something with what we have grown. We want to accomplish something. Once we are employed we want to make a contribution, make a “difference”. We want to make a good home for our families and a good foundation for our children.
 
But, perhaps the most fulfilling and most Christ-like of all these involvements is what we share. It’s in the sharing that everything we have grown and made becomes important. What we do for ourselves only matters to God if it makes a difference to someone else.
 
Our love and compassion for one another are felt through our gifts of time, skills and our accomplishments. Our pledge this year is to give of the bread each of us has made - a little piece of something we grew, a piece of us.
