Is your parish thinking about Stewardship?
 

  

Take the first step!  Here is an assessment to help you determine how prepared your parish is for a successful stewardship effort! 



There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit;  There are different forms of service but the same Lord; There are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.  To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.
