Stewardship is using the gifts God has given us to do the work God is calling us to do.

What are the gifts God has given us?

At our baptism, the celebrant prays for specific gifts for us from the Lord in the Spirit, including an inquiring and discerning heart, the courage to will and Ato persevere, a spirit to know and love God, and the gift of joy and wonder in all God’s works.

What is the work God is calling us to do with our gifts?

We find the answer in Matthew 25:35-36: For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
