Stewardship - A Generosity of Heart
Our stewardship theme this year calls us to a Generosity of Heart. Realizing that God blesses each of us with precisely what we need to become a disciple of Jesus Christ and to build up the heavenly kingdom. It is with an attitude of gratitude that our hearts are moved with a need to give.
To help you discern your need to give this year you will find a weekly stewardship reflection in the bulletin, on the front page of the website, and on our Facebook page. These reflections look at the upcoming Sunday Gospel and how we can become better stewards of what God has entrusted to us.
Our commitment Sunday renewal will be on November 13, 2011 at all Mass times. Prayerfully consider how God has blessed your life in time, talent and treasure.
Steps to Becoming a Better Steward
Step 1—Pray
Agree to return to the Lord in gratitude a portion of everything He has give you, whether through inheritance, paychecks, investments, unexpected windfalls, an allowance, or a Social Security check.
Step 2—Determine your Stewardship Commitment
Giving, not until it hurts, but until it is deeply rewarding, is the key to authentic Christian stewardship. Sacrificial giving means making a sacrifice.
Step 3—Make a Decision
Follow the plan of action, fill out a Stewardship Commitment card when the time comes and bring your gifts to the altar.
