We have all heard the word 'steward' in relation to all sorts of things at various times but have we ever thought deeply about what this means? There has been a long and distinguished history of people taking on the role of steward and often this has been beneficial both for the donor and for the steward. There have also been many examples of stewards who have taken over, that is who have ceased to run things for the benefit of the donor and taken everything for themselves. How do we fit into the model of being stewards? Do we really think that those things we have control over really belong to us or are we just temporary guardians of them? Come and be a part of a discussion of what it means to be stewards of creation and how we might hold ourselves accountable.

Church of the Advent owns the gravel Parking Lot next to the Church Property and we have, for several years, talked about how we might develop it for the benefit of our Church and the wider community. Now the French American International School, our neighbor. have begun talking with us about a partnership project to develop our underused resource. Come to meet our neighbor, get to know them, and begin to talk about how we might, together, make this into something of benefit to our community.
