 As
a member of St. Matthew, you are being asked to look at your
priorities and the needs of our faith community and parish.
Please consider how you can use some of your God-given time
and talents for God's work. To be responsible stewards of time
and talent, you must begin with an honest inventory of yourself.
All you are comes from God. Your very life is God's gift and
the daily sustaining of your life is proof of God's continuing
desire that you develop your talents and share them with others.
To become good stewards, you need to know yourself as God
does and you need to take stock in yourself. Good stewardship
obliges you to take time for prayer and reflection, to assess
your gifts, your time, and your ordering of life priorities.
This self-inventory is the beginning.
Stewardship itself is a gift from God. With the gift of faith
received in baptism, you are called to become a responsible
steward. In a sense, assessing your time, talent, and treasure
is not an option. For a person of faith, it is part of the
commitment to participate fully in the life of the Church.
Contained on this website is a wealth of information on opportunities
to serve in one of the many diverse ministries our parish has
to offer. There's truly something for everyone. You are gifted!
Find out just how gifted your are by discovering God within
yourself. This discovery will lead you to a renewed energy,
spirit, faith, and fellowship.
