Membership/Stewardship “Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” Matthew 5:2324 Being good stewards of the physical gifts we receive from God is important. Yet, we are also called to be responsible for the relationships in our lives. Improving relationships with our family, friends and neighbors, especially relationships that are strained, is a higher, more mature, form of stewardship.

Prayer Partners
A Big “Thank You” to our Prayer Partners! We are happy to have shared this Valentine’s Day celebrating God’s love together! On Friday February 14th, these loving Parishioners shared their gift of time with their 2nd and 3rd grade buddies. We had a fun “get together” in the Heritage Room where we had snacks, played games, read, crafted and laughed together! We greatly appreciate the time spent together with each other. Our Prayer Partners program keeps everyone YOUTHFUL & USEFUL! Many thanks to Ms. Sybil Alt and Mrs. Kathleen Willenbrink for continuing this delightful tradition!
