Stewardship spotlight
Christian stewardship is the grateful and responsible use of God's gifts in the light
of God's purpose as revealed in Jesus Christ. Christian stewards, empowered by
the Holy Spirit, commit themselves to conscious, purposeful decisions.
Each month, St. Martin‟s stewardship committee will share an example of
good stewardship. This month‟s spotlight is on Leanne Lyle and the
Hospitality Committee.
