God, make me a steward of your bounty.
Where there is need,
let me see it;
Where there is
abundance,
let me share it;
Where there is time,
Let me spend it;
And where there
is treasure,
let me use it
to your glory!
Amen.

An evaluation of our 2018 Stewardship Fair has found that we had a grand total of 71 new sign-ups. Thank you to all who responded to the call to share your God-given gifts in the service of one another.The Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) shall be seeking the formation of a separate Stewardship Committee to carry on with the momentum of the Fair. There are ministries who still need help. If you sense that you are called to this ministry, phone Chair-Person Marilyn K Smelski at 403-261-1999 to help keep Stewardship in the forefront.

Stewardship Prayer
O Lord, giver of life and source of our freedom, we are reminded that Yours is "the earth in its fullness; the world and those who live in it".We know that it is from your hand that we have received all that we have and are, and will be.
Gracious and loving God, we understand that you call us to be stewards of your abundance, the caretakers of all you have entrusted to us.
Help us always to use your gifts wisely and teach us to share them generously.May our faithful stewardship bear witness to the love of Christ in our lives.
We pray this with grateful hearts in Jesus' name.Amen.
