Sharing in Community of Christ

WE SHARE… Whole-life Stewardship Stewardship is the response of my people to the ministry of my Son and is required alike of all those who seek to build the kingdom. —Doctrine and Covenants 147:5a

Living Life Generously All that we are and all that we have are gifts from God. We seek to share generously what we have received as an act of faith and thanksgiving for all that God has provided. With Jesus Christ as our model, we are called to use all our gifts—time, talent, treasure, and testimony—in service to God and others. To be generous for the sake of others, we must grow in our capacity to share our gifts from God. As God’s generosity transforms us, we want to use our life to serve others. We serve through tithing of our time, talent, treasure, and testimony. We describe this as whole-life stewardship. Being good stewards of our lives is our ultimate calling as generous disciples. From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded. —Luke 12:48 NRSV Photo (above) by Marvin Crozier
