Stewardship Message

“Do not forget the Lord, your God…who brought forth water for you from the flinty rock and fed you in the desert with manna.” Deuteronomy 8:14-16 It takes great trust to follow the Lord in a life of stewardship. Yet, just as He provided for the Israelites, God will provide us with all that we need. We in turn must be willing to hold our many gifts – not with a clenched fist but rather with an open hand, ready and willing to share.

This Week’s Stewardship of Time and Talent Salute

We salute all our parishioners who gave blood during our blood drive this Friday. Thank you for giving the gift of life.

Everyday-Everyway Stewards
We are grateful this week for all steward disciples in our parish who try to become renewed in Christ.

Our Children’s Stewardship
Help children identify prayer triggers in their lives. A prayer trigger is a routine action or event that reminds us to say a special prayer. Examples of prayer triggers include: saying a prayer for those in danger whenever you hear a siren, thanking God for His blessings every time you wash your hands, or praying for someone who is sick whenever you are waiting in a check-out line.
