Have you found a ministry that fits you? Build your parish by your gifts!
Maybe you say, “I am busy all week long! I don’t even find time for myself. I can’t help my family enough either. I am always running and the only day I can rest is my one day off a week! How and where can I get more time for the church?"
Dear brothers and sisters, each one of you is a gift and a very special gift to our parish and the region. You have special gifts that God has given you that are always with you, at home, at work, and at church. Your gifts do not appear and disappear when you pass though the doors of our church. You have received them to be used in your daily life to bring the kingdom of God.
We are thankful for many people in our Region who use their gifts to serve the Lord and the Church in many ways. Please consider being a part of a ministry in our Region. Join us for the “Assembly of Disciples” to learn how you can help and to discover your gifts. Talk to a priest or a deacon to get information about the ministries in our region. Call or send an email to us or to Mr. Dave Nissen. Our contact information is listed in the bulletin.
I hope that through different ministries in our region, as the first apostles, we too, all day long, both at the church and in our homes, we will not stop teaching and proclaiming the Messiah, Jesus (Acts 5:42). Let us our share our time, talents and treasure to help at home with the family, help at work with colleagues and help at church with our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
