Stewardship Quotes
“Be aware! Keep alert! For you do not know when an opportunity will come to be generous, and you must be ready to respond.”
– Stewardship Seconds, United Church of Canada
“As we begin a new church year, Jesus reminds us that we are the ones whom God has left in charge; we are the stewards; and we told to stay alert, carrying out the tasks entrusted to us.” ~ based on Mark 13: 24-37
