Many thanks to ALL of our MUCH appreciated volunteers

Living Each Day as a Steward
Today, we begin the first week of our
stewardship program Living Each Day as a
Steward. Our theme for this week is “The
Steward’s Identity.”
What identity is most
important to you? Does your identity focus on
your family, vocation, wealth, hobbies,
education, etc.?
How important is your
identity of being a baptized child of God who
has been called and chosen to be God’s
steward. Through the Gospel, we have our
new identity in Jesus.
