“Our Creator God has lovingly equipped us to be faithful stewards, to care for one another and for creation, but this happens in real life, not in some once a year, slightly desperate and uncomfortable effort that’s tied ball-and-chain to a budget. People want to make a difference, and we are willing to be generous when given the right opportunities and reasons for doing so.”
Sharon Blezard, pastoral staff of the Lower Susquehanna Synod ELCA (PA), from “Cultivate a Climate of Generosity through Thankful Living” on Luther Seminary’s Center for Stewardship Leaders e-newsletter
