STEWARDSHIP UPCOMING EVENTS
STEWARDSHIP Stewardship Sharing
“So the last will be first and the first last” - MATTHEW 20:16 You’ve heard the saying “it’s not where you start, but how you finish.” This certainly applies to biblical Stewardship. We have a responsibility not only for our own lives, but for the lives of others as well. We are called to generously share our gifts with others, not hoard them for our own use. Our gratitude and generosity helps us live “God-centered” lives and not “self-centered” lives.
Many businesses will begin their Employee Giving Campaigns this month and continue to solicit donations through the fall months. Employee Giving/United Way campaigns give us an opportunity to direct our donations to the charities that best represents our beliefs, interests and social concerns.
Ask your employer for a pledge card and be sure to: � Designate the House of Charity in the Donor Choice
Section � If the agency requests a code for your donor
choice…these codes may be found on the Employee Giving Poster hanging in the Parish Office
� Ask to be acknowledged! This ensures our parish will receive credit toward our House of Charity goal.
� Please send along your completed form to House of Charity – Diocese of Camden, 631 Market St., Camden, NJ 08102
Your donation to our House of Charity helps to build, support and maintain many programs, ministries and services throughout our parishes and communities. These programs save lives and build futures.
