STEWARDSHIP ... is what I do after I say I believe

We are truly Gods handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to lead the life of good
deeds which God prepared for us in advance.
Ephesians 2:10

Our good deeds go beyond just giving money to charity. Stewardship is not about
how we spend our money, but about how we spend our lives.
