Sharing Your Time & Talent
"As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace." 1 Peter 4:10
Time
Become a greeter before Mass or help prepare engaged couples for the Sacrament of Marriage.
Talent
Knit or crochet prayer shawls, join the choir, or share your faith as a catechist.
Treasure
Help support the parish financially and through various donation collections to benefit those in need.
How can you use your time and talent to give glory to God?
We reciprocate God's love by our words and actions. Attending Mass, reading Scripture, participating in the sacraments, studying the faith, helping others, and sharing the gifts that God has given us are all ways to demonstrate to God our love for him.
St. Mary's offers a variety of ministries for parishioners and friends. We encourage you to prayerfully reflect on how God is calling you to use the gifts and talents that he has blessed you with.
Loving God,
We come to you in thanksgiving, knowing that all we are and all that we have is gift from you.
You call us to be stewards of your abundance, the caretakers of all that you have entrusted to us.
Help us reflect our love for you and for our neighbor, by sharing freely of our time, talent and treasure until it becomes the norm and pattern of our existence.
Help us to always use your gifts wisely and teach us to share them generously.
We offer this and all of our prayers today through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
