| Stewardship |
The role of the Stewardship Committee is to promote the
concept of Christian Stewardship in St Michael's
church, and to consider and recommend to the PCC any such
action as will assist this process. In particular
there is a need to focus on the longer-term needs of the
church to allow the PCC to plan further ahead.
It is stressed that responsibility for the church's income
is not seen as the remit of the Stewardship Committee alone
and that good communication and understanding between the
various committees remains a priority.
