Stewardship

A good steward is one who is a careful and responsible manager of what has been entrusted to them. It involves our time, talents and treasure.

  • Moonjar - Moonjar moneyboxes were created as a tool for children and families to incorporate strong financial values and practices into their daily lives. Launched in 2001 by Eulalie M. Scandiuzzi, a Seattle native. Moonjar moneyboxes are used in homes and schools around the world. Moonjar's origination was sparked by Mrs. Scandiuzzi's childhood exposure to the values of hard work, thoughtful decision making and strong financial ethics, paired with an anecdotal remembrance of the Rockefeller family. In his family kitchen, John D. Rockefeller kept three jars for his children's allowances for saving, spending, and charitable giving. This model of managing money, paired with the legacy of her family's financial management principles, moved Mrs. Scandiuzzi to create Moonjar. In addition to the moneyboxes, other resources (some free and downloadable) are available for family discussions on money and other topics.
