Time & Talent
One of the most significant aspects of biblical faith is the Call to Stewardship. In the Book of Genesis, God places humankind in charge of creation to diligently, energetically and faithfully take care of the many gifts and resources which God has given for our use. Stewardship means an honest look at the gifts God has given to us and then an honest look at our calendars to see how we can share those gifts with others through our Time and Talent. The Stewardship Team would like to encourage you to spend some time this month considering in what ministry or ministries you would like to be involved. We have each been gifted with such unique talents that we’re sure there is a place for you to use your gifts. Your Time and Talent work together to keep St. James’ alive, healthy and thriving.
I invite you to reflect on the gifts and talents God has blessed you with and how you might best share them with our St. James’ community. I ask you to consider offering your time as a volunteer or as a supporter of the many programs and ministries that are offered at St. James’. “Many hands make light work.” I’m sure you’ve heard this old saying and know it to be true. To make St. James’ a strong community of faith, we all need to do our part.
This month’s prayer: Thank you, God, for giving us unique gifts and abilities. Help us to realize that only we can do the work you have prepared for us to do. We ask for the wisdom and strength to use our gifts for the good of your people and for your honor and glory. Amen.
