In 2015, we focus on the Stewardship of Spirituality Church name here

2015 STEWARDSHIP Our 2015 focus is on SPIRITUALITY

Spirituality Orthodox Spirituality is taught and exemplified through the lives of the Fathers, Mothers and Saints of all ages. There we find the living and concrete examples of what Spirituality is. St. John Climacus – The Ladder of Divine Ascent 30 Steps to reach Heaven St. Gregory Palamas – Hesychism Theosis as a way to become like God

THEOSIS Archimandrite Justin Popovic For to be a member of the Church means to become incarnated with the God- man, to share His body, to become an organic part of His divine-human body. In other words, to become divine-human in the entire reality of one’s human personality

Spirituality Orthodox Spirituality is… Seeking the honor of God Taking up your cross and following Jesus Looking at everything from God’s point of view and not public opinion Making decisions based on the Heavenly and not the earthly Living, praying and worshipping as a member of the Body of Christ

STEWARDSHIP Stewardship is… An equal giving of our Time, Talents and Treasures Time – limited to 24 hours each day Talents – the unique characteristics that God has blessed you with Treasures – giving of your self, your belongings or your financial resources

STEWARDSHIP MUST BE Spiritually based A balance of Time, Talents and Treasures From the heart Must be done positively A focus as it is how you will be judged by God
