Thoughts on Stewardship
Vibrant stewards embrace financial health as an expression of faith. We allow money to flow to and through our lives in ways that nourish us and our world. We recognize that our capacity to give is defined by our hearts, not our pocketbooks. - Michele Hermansen, Luther Seminary
