Christian Stewardship concerns what we do with
what we have all of the time. Notes in the parish
bulletin, study of the scriptures, workshops,
and diocesan conferences are sources of education
about how, where, why and what we give as Christians.
Many parishioners at St. Paul's Church give generously
in time, talent and treasure. The parish depends
on the generosity of its parishioners to keep
it operating, as revenue from the endowments represents
only 5% of its annual budget. The parish also
gives financial support to the Primate's
World Relief and Development Fund which aids
communities in need in Canada and around the world.
The Narrative Budget 2009 describes the many activities
within the parish, and in outreach, supported
by the time and talent of our members. Their efforts
are equivalent to the work of six full-time workers.
