| We human beings are fallible; most of us have very
good intentions but sometimes are not so good at putting
them into effect. We do better with structures to help us.
We know that the more that is given to the church in
terms of time, talents and money, the more the church can
manage to do. Our annual stewardship review is one way of
helping us to live up to our good intentions. In this
respect we have to be utterly realistic. If we offer more
than we can give, there is disappointment. If we offer
less than we can give, important things are not done.
To help us this year, the Diocesan Stewardship Adviser is
coming to our Joint Parish Eucharist at St Philip’s
on Sunday 13th March at 10 am to make a presentation to
help us all with these matters. During the next two weeks
everyone should receive for a couple of days, a
Stewardship File to consider and it will include response
slips which we would ask everyone to fill in, place in a
sealed envelope and place it in the file so it will come
back to church to be offered at the altar on Easter
Sunday.
I know some of us feel these are all hard matters but I
would ask us all to consider these important matters
carefully and come to the service at St Philip’s on
13th March and fill in a response form. God give so much
to us; let us give realistically with his help. May God
guide us and help us in this as in all things.
