Dear Parish Family,
As followers of Christ, each of us has been called to something greater than ourselves. We are called not only to love and worship God, but also to serve one another—in our church, our families, our communities, and throughout the world. Every act of service, no matter how great or small, becomes a living witness to God’s love. Just as every member of a family has an important role, every member of the Body of Christ has unique gifts to offer. When the work of ministry is carried by only a few, the burden becomes heavy and discouragement can set in. But, when each of us shares our time, talents, and hearts, we strengthen one another, build up our parish family, and accomplish far more together than any one person ever could alone.
Through our service, we answer Christ’s call to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, care for the sick, visit those who are imprisoned, and welcome the stranger. Jesus reminds us that whatever we do—or fail to do—for the least of our brothers and sisters, we do for Him. Every act of kindness, every sacrifice, and every willing heart becomes an offering to Christ Himself. As you prayerfully look through our 2026-27 ministry guide, I invite you to ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to the place where your gifts can make the greatest difference. God has uniquely equipped each of us for His mission. We need you. While none of us can do everything, every one of us can do something—and together, we can do extraordinary things for the glory of God.
Thank you for your generous spirit and for the many gifts and talents you so willingly share. Through your service, the message of God’s love and mercy is made visible to all who encounter our parish. May the Lord bless you abundantly, strengthen you in your calling, and reward your faithful service with His peace, His joy, and His grace, both now and for all eternity.
