A Note from Rhetta
We usually think of Stewardship season as taking place in the fall, when we talk quite a bit about how we spend our treasure. Well, I submit to you that we are now entering Stewardship season, Part Two, when it is time to really reflect on time and talent.
Next Sunday, May 20, we will be holding a fabulous Ministry Showcase at 10:15 a.m. in the parish hall. This means we will be recognizing and celebrating our mighty heroes and giving you a chance to see how you can be one of them.
Unlike certain other superheroes, these valiant servant-leaders eschew the weapons of war in favor of the gifts of the Spirit: faithfulness, hope, and love.
Here is just a partial list of some heroes you might encounter that Sunday--
