Quick Links to Topics in this section: Stewardship, Why Bother? Many people are involved in church programs for what they do for themselves and/or for what they do for others. This is a pictorial view of some of what is ongoing. View a Power Point presentation or view a video.

Breakthrough Video Part 1 Breakthrough Video Part 2 If one likes the Unitarian Universalist faith, it would be reasonable to believe that there are others who would find comfort and strength in the same pursuits.

Stewardship conveys a sense of taking care, of managing, of understanding what needs to be done and then doing it. Members of the church are stewards of the property of the church. That includes our buildings and lands. We are stewards of property that has been left in our care and safekeeping by people no longer here. We carry forward tradition and dedication that built this building, added a new wing,a memorial garden, and renovated and expanded what was here. Most of of us have walked our our trails or sat during a Sunday Service and enjoyed the beauty around us; whether first blossoms of spring, the golden-orange of fall, or the soft snow falling on a winter's day. We have responsibilities: to preserve as much of the flora and fauna as we possibly can, to be sure that our impact upon the land is ecologically sound and environmentally safe, to model how a religious community can use land in ways that will enrich and beautify that land and the surrounding community, never to detract from but always in what we do to preserve and to add to the loveliness and liveliness of our land.* As stewards we need to learn how to care for our property, our land and our building. From the heat to the electricity to the security system to the plumbing to the walls and the carpet and wood floors. We take care to use these things in ways that preserve and extend their life. While there are committees within the Church who are charged with leading the care-taking, there will be times when we may be asked to garden, to fix-up, and clean-up. Grounds Stewardship
