Spirituality – Lex
Vivendi
A way of life.
People are looking for standards and clear expectations.
Stewardship is primarily about a person’s need to give in gratitude.
God will not be outdone in generosity.

people

Leaders need two things:
Vision
Clear Steps of Action

#4 – Have a Clear
Vision!
“Where there is no vision, people
perish” (Proverbs 29:18).
“Vision is a witness for the
appointed time, a testimony to
the end; wait for it, it will surely
come” (Hab. 2:3).

Vision
Invite your parish to imagine the ideal
parish – your parish - made close to
perfect by the workings of the Holy
Spirit.
Encourage your parish to think big.

Three Questions
What is an ideal parish?
What might stand in the way of our parish achieving this ideal status?
If our parish enjoyed unlimited resources what would be our dreams and
goals?

#12 – Review Annually!
Stewardship has no
room for inertia.
Three Questions:
Are we doing what
we set out to do?
Are we serving the
people we hope to
serve?
Has the need
changed in the
meantime?
