Why is it important?

​

Sometimes it seems as if stewardship is simply an annual task, like taxes. But at St. Columba’s stewardship is a constantly engaging expression of gratitude among parishioners, our church, and—most importantly—our God.

 

Where does it go?

​

The annual pledge appeal is the most formal part of stewardship. It keeps the lights on, the staff paid, the buildings and grounds tended, and our charitable efforts funded.

​

Going beyond the pledge.

​

Beyond pledging, we practice vital, dynamic stewardship every time we cook for or clean up after a gathering, volunteer for a committee, help put together the annual garden party, donate a treasure to an auction, buy a gift for the annual Christmas giving tree, or give a warm welcome to a newcomer. There is no limit to stewardship.
