Our Stewardship Campaign this year will be – “Christian Giving of Time”. Time is a fundamental part of God’s creation (Gen 1: 14-19) and should be recognised as a very important gift from God. In considering the “Christian Giving of Time” let us reflect on the ways we use our Time. We can think about these different uses of our time: Time for God - Time for friends and family - Time for work - Time for rest and leisure - Time for the church. Our Stewardship Season month this year is yet to be decided but we can all begin to reflect on how we use our time in relation to the theme of “Christian Giving”.
