Parish Ministries" For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching." Romans 12:4-7
"There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone." 1 Corinthians 12:4-6
Stewardship: Time, Talent & Treasure
Stewardship is the response of a grateful heart for all the gifts bestowed on us by God. Stewardship is the willing return of the first measure of our time, talent, and treasure to God for all that He has done for us. Time is from God. Individuals only have one chance to use their time; it cannot be recovered. Time is made holy or unholy by its use. Our Talents are a direct result of the time we invest in them. There are certainly many different talents that people possess that can be used to help build God’s kingdom.
The Treasure that you return to God is a decision that you make based on your relationship with Him. Ongoing evaluation of your time, talent, and treasure – combined with fruitful prayerful relationship with Jesus Christ – will bring all of us to the Stewardship way of life. St Adalbert parish offers many different ways for each parishioner to serve and minister to others according to our time, interests, talents, and abilities.
"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ."
Colossians 3:23-24 -
