Stewardship
Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received – only what you have given, a full heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage.

The Theology of Abundance in Difficult Times:
The 2009 Stewardship Conference
Saturday, June 13, 2009
10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
St. John's Church, Ellicott City
Stewardship is not just about the annual drive for pledges to balance your church budget. The annual stewardship drive also stirs up our values about money and how we use our time, talent, and resources for the greater good of our churches, our communities, and the world. In this year’s conference, exciting workshops, speakers and panels will address how to build successful stewardship campaigns in these challenging economic times. Bishop Sutton will open the conference with a talk on “The Theology of Abundance.” The Rev. Kirk Kubicek, a nationally sought-after speaker on stewardship, will give a lunch keynote address “Holy Habits.”
