December - Stewardship

Posted by Megan DePrimio on Fri, Dec 16, 2016 @ 12:12 PM

Happy December, y’all! I don’t know about you, but this month tends to be one of my favorite times of the year (minus a lot of snow). From running chaotically to various get-togethers, to having awkward small talk with distant relatives (Me: “Yes, Cousin Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, the Midwest is great for meeting people!” [shoves cookies into mouth in order to avoid talking]), the holidays can be absolute madness. Despite the crazy scheduling, I love the bonding opportunities with friends and family that abound in the next few weeks. Last month, we focused on gratitude as an overarching theme for this series. As for this month, with the snowfall in full swing, I would like to introduce a different topic to focus a few thoughts on: Stewardship. A quick Google search for the definition of stewardship resulted with “the management or care of something.” While this term is used A LOT in my department (Special Events & Stewardship), it can be a little ambiguous as to what exactly stewardship or stewarding something is. What it really boils down to are relationships and how we foster and grow them — something we tend to do naturally throughout this Christmas season.
