In the beginning of Genesis, God created everything and put Adam in the Garden to work it and to take care of it. It is clear that Man was created to work and that work is the stewardship of all of the creation that God has given him. This is the fundamental principle of biblical stewardship; God owns everything; we are simply managers or stewards acting on God’s behalf. We encourage everyone to consider using the Sunday Offertory Envelopes or Online Giving as a way of returning to the Lord the “first fruits” of the "treasure" you have received. Thank you for sharing God’s gifts!
