Stewardship is what we are called to do as children of God. It involves the giving of time and talents as well as finances to help support the church community of which we are a part.  

St Mary’s is very fortunate in having many people who generously offer their time, energy, creativity, friendship and support to the Church. This support is very much appreciated and essential to our future. There is a wide variety of roles within the life of the church and we always welcome new help, whatever skill you have and whatever amount of time you can offer.
