Jesus' Way

Scripture: Luke 4: 16-22, Luke 13: 10-17, John 14: 6 Centred on God's Kingdom (see preface of Christ the King)

‘Stewardship’ as a general concept

Stewardship in the Church as…

	Sharing in God's work
	Remembering our baptismal call
	Pass on with thanks to next generation what we have received
	The call to prayer and worship
	Summed up in the Preface of Christ the King

Eucharist & Stewardship

Scripture: 1 Cor. 10: 17, Mark 6: 30 – 44

	Union with Christ and with each other
	Giving thanks
	Sacrifice of Jesus – his identity – our identity
	Responsibility for others
	Solidarity with poor – at home and in the world
