Stewardship announcements

March 2 – 3, 2024
Stewardship as a Way of Life:
“You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything…” – Exodus 20:4

How many “gods” do you put before God? “Idols” do not always take the shape of physical things, things we can touch and feel. Those are easy to recognize. Many times they take the form of things we cannot touch and are much harder to spot like pride, power, ego, time, comfort or health. Pray for God’s help to prune our vices and to grow in virtue.

March 9 – 10, 2024
Stewardship as a Way of Life: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son…” – John 3:16

Of all the wonderful gifts that God has given to us, the gift of His own Son is truly the greatest. How can we ever thank God for a gift like that? God does not ask us to sacrifice our own precious firstborn, but He does ask that we are grateful and generous with our God-given gifts. That we nurture and develop our gifts, and in gratitude, generously give back with increase our time in prayer, our talent in charitable works and our treasure to support the mission and ministry of our parish and greater Church.

March 16 – 17, 2024

Stewardship as a Way of Life: “I will be their God and they shall be my people.”- Jeremiah 31:33

What does it mean to be God’s people? It means we recognize that everything we have and everything we are belongs to God. We aren’t “owners” of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has given us. It means we are willing to use our gifts and our lives to care for our family, our neighbors and for people we don’t know, just as God cares for each of us.

March 23 – 24, 2024

Stewardship as a Way of Life: “Pilate again said to them, ‘Then what shall I do with the man whom you call the King of the Jews? ‘And they cried out again, ‘Crucify him.’” – MARK 15:12-13

Jesus told us “Whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.” Every day we are presented opportunities to help someone. Every day we have the opportunity to see the face of Jesus in others and be the face of Jesus to others. Every day we pass by someone in need. Pray for the strength and courage to be the answer to someone’s prayer.

March 30 – 31, 2024

Stewardship as a Way of Life: “Think of what is above, not of what is on earth.”- Colossians 3:2

On this day we thank God for His Son, Jesus, who died, rose and opened the gates of heaven for us. We celebrate and sing 

“Alleluia.

“Let’s try to keep the joy of this Easter season in our hearts throughout the year! Pray daily and listen for how God is calling each of us to joyfully use our gifts to fulfill His salvation plan.
