The Stewardship Committee at Dryburgh District Churches are keen to support the ideals of good Stewardship. We are Stewards of all that God has placed in our care.
Stewardship plays a very important role in the life of the Church. Many people tend to associate Stewardship with raising money for the Church but that there is much more to Stewardship than just that. Finance plays an important role but God's gifts of Time, Talent and Creation are also vital elements in the role of good Stewardship.
Finance
We always welcome donations and legacies, no matter their size.

Time
The gift of time is a precious one. Many of us don’t have enough hours in the day to do everything that we would like to do. The Stewardship Committee encourages everyone to explore the use of their time.
Time spent with family and friends, time for ourselves, time spent at work, time for recreation, time for Church, time for God, time for your local community are all important issues but do we have the correct balance? If you feel that you are able to offer some of your time to assist us in the running of the Church, then please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
Talents
We all have talents, though many of us probably do not realise this. The Stewardship Committee is keen to identify those talents, our skills and strengths and to offer these for the work of the Church. Perhaps in these difficult economic conditions you struggle to donate money to the Church, or to increase your level of givings but do you have any skills, or strengths, or ideas which can be put to use for the good of the Church? If so, then we would really like to hear from you.
Creation
We are the Stewards of God's Creation. Dryburgh District Churches are proud to be an Eco-Congregation. The Stewardship Committee are keen to explore and highlight environmental and economic issues such as climate emergency, pollution, recycling and the effects of affluence and consumption on poorer nations and on future generations. Last year we were asked to consider if appropriate, a pledge to donate at least part of our fuel payment from the government, to a charity that helps those who are in fuel poverty such as Energy Action Scotland (who help those in fuel poverty).
