So what next? And what can I do? 1. Be a Partner in Growth Prayerfully read the MAP Review your giving of time, talents, resources and finance and ask how you might contribute 2. Remain rooted in the vine Take responsibility for your own growth in faith Consider using your hospitality gifts for people new to the church and on the edge of the St Stephen's family This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
