STEWARDSHIP

Stewardship is about helping God’s people grow in their relationship with Jesus through the use of the time, 
talents and finances that God has entrusted to them.  It is a way of life.

TIME, TALENT & TREASURE
At St. Augustine’s we are constantly learning to be better stewards of God’s many gifts to us.  We are learning of God’s great generosity and love given to us freely each day of our lives and especially through the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.  We seek to respond with gratitude for the abundance around us.  We are learning to respond with our own gifts of time, talents, and treasure.  Above all we are learning that all we assume to be our own possessions are in fact the gifts of God.  We don’t own them, God Does. ‘Letting go’ is a process of discovery as all learning must be.

Stewardship at St. Augustine’s is an on-going process throughout the year, not just “fund-raising” in the fall.  We are committed to our immediate community of North Kohala, and also, through the Diocese of Hawaii, to the rest of the world.  The practice of good stewardship is an essential part of our walk with Christ.  It is at the heart of the Gospel.

There are many ways one can offer service to God through the church and in the community.

ANNUAL BAZAAR
Each fall St. Augustine’s sponsors an extensive bazaar which includes plants, produce, and a wide range of used but useable items in a “White Elephant” sale, but the highlights of the day are the many food items prepared by St. Augustine cooks and a Silent Auction.  Save up your items for the White Elephant sale and be on the lookout for potential donations for the Silent Auction.
