Stewardship Story of the Month
If you think of golf courses and cruises when you hear the word “retirement,” you’ve never met Tim and Ruth Leacock, whose faith journey embodies stewardship as a way of life. When Tim was offered an early retirement package by his employer in 2001, he jumped at the chance which enabled him, along with Ruth, to found and operate a charity they called Computers4Africa . This charity, headquartered in the Leacock’s home in Omaha, Nebraska, supplied more than 3,000 refurbished computers for schools and other institutions in Africa, particularly Uganda.
Wanted: Positive Male Role Models
Father’s Day reminds us that fathers are a tremendous source of love, strength and protection for a child. Notwithstanding the faithful and heroic efforts of single moms bringing up children in today’s society, children still need to be around Christian men who are positive role models; men who are actively involved in their life of faith, possess spiritual passion, and are faithful fathers and husbands. Undoubtedly, parishes need more men to be involved in the spiritual development of young people.

From Our Members
We are the recipients of God’s unending love. Though we are reminded of his love in countless ways throughout the year, it is the actions and words of Jesus Christ during the feast of Passover that show us the extent of his love and the way we too can live a life of stewardship: “…love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another” (John 13:34). If we are to be his disciples we can do nothing less, in word and deed, than humbly offer ourselves in loving service to another.

Dear Heavenly Father,

hearts rich with your love,
embraced by your compassion.

Ever since my ordination as Bishop in Hamilton, Bermuda, in 1995, I have been associated with the Church’s call to stewardship in both a personal and a pastoral manner. I presently serve as a board member of ICSC representing the region that includes all the 17 dioceses of the Antilles Episcopal Conference and this has offered me the opportunity to meet and to work with people whom I consider outstanding witnesses of stewardship as a way of life.
