Stewardship
Stewards Do Likewise
“…go and do likewise.” Luke 10:37b
This was Jesus’ simple command to all of us at the end of
the Good Samaritan story. How do Stewards do “likewise?”
By sharing our skills. By reaching into our treasure when
financial help is needed. By taking the time to help when we
are needed, not when it’s convenient for us.
