WEEKLY PARISH BULLETIN - May 30, 2021 9 STEWARDSHIP & CARES NEWS

What Is Stewardship? Step 1: Prayer Life In the past few weeks, you have seen that we are actively recruiting new members for our Stewardship Commission. What exactly is Stewardship? It is a way of life involving responsible management of our God-given resources of time, talent, and treasure. Each week in the bulletin, we will explain the different aspects of Stewardship. This week we will focus on Stewardship of Prayer. "Every one of us needs at least half an hour each day, except when you're busy, then we need an hour." -SAINT Prayer is vital to our life. You and I were created for prayer. Our purpose is to know and love God and incorporate that into our daily life. The more we pray, the happier we become. The more we pray, the more we are filled with a greater peace of mind and heart. The more we pray, the greater we know ourselves. The more we pray, we will see the hand of God in every day of our lives. We need to create the habit of prayer. Our life will become more meaningful.

We are blessed at Saint Ambrose. We have so many opportunities for prayer. We have Monday Eucharistic Adoration in our Chapel. Our Church, Chapel and Grotto are open for prayer. We also have many ministries that focus on prayer. Prayer is so important because it is how we help to build up the Kingdom of God.

Saint Ambrose’s Stewardship Committee works behind the scenes in the development of the parish’s Stewardship plan. The group meets 6-8 times per year. Some of the activities planned by the committee includes assisting others in identifying time, talent, and treasure, organization of ministry fairs, discernment of gifts, and in welcoming others. We are seeking new members. If you would like to learn more, contact Jane Baldwin, Stewardship & Front Office Coordinator at 330.460.7381 or [email protected] "As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace." -1 PETER 4:10
