"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:19-21
What is your "WHY"?
Our material possessions, including money, are temporary and hard to keep. These should not be more important than godliness. Jesus tells us to “store” our treasures, including time, money, and talents, in heaven by making the right choices in doing God’s work. But why should we make those choices? This is the theme of our annual stewardship campaign: “What is our Why?” Why do I attend church? Why do I choose to go to St. Augustine’s? How do we at St. Augustine’s live into the work that God expects of us?
Consider your own thoughts on those questions. We are here to do God’s work in the world – worship God, love one another, feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, clothe the needy, care for the sick. Jesus came not to be served, but to serve humanity by giving His life for all of us.

Offerings of Time & Talent
Take a few minutes of prayer to reflect on the time and spiritual gifts, the talents, with which God has filled you. What do you notice? Out of this noticing, what do you feel called to offer to the life and ministry of St. Augustine’s Church? It may be a ministry you are already involved in, or it may be something new!
