“Gifted by God” at the Parish Time & Talent Ministry Fair

There are so many people in our parish that are “Gifted by God” and are eager to share their gifts with one another. You will have the opportunity to share your gifts at our Ministry Time and Talent Fair this month.

The Purpose of the Time and Talent Ministry Fair
A Time and Talent Ministry Fair is held to generate awareness, enthusiasm, and involvement among parishioners, ultimately increasing parish ministry. It is a celebration of the work of the Church, a special event that recognizes the importance of all volunteer efforts. The Time and Talent Ministry Fair is a wonderful way for parishioners to meet and gather information about the various ministries, committees, organizations, and educational opportunities that are available within the parish community. Each ministry is showcased using a display at a table or booth with signup sheets for each ministry making it easy for you to volunteer. The Fair serves to educate parishioners about stewardship while also helping them grow in their relationship with the Lord. This festive event allows parishioners to ask questions, discern their many gifts and talents, and learn how they can share their gifts within a particular parish ministry. For those already involved in ministry, parishioners are afforded an opportunity to recommit their time and talent to carry out the parish’s mission statement and help build the Kingdom of God on earth. A Ministry Fair also encourages the practice of stewardship of time and talent by fostering a deeper realization about our Baptismal call to be followers and disciples of Jesus Christ.

On October 26 and 27, we will host a Time & Talent Ministry Fair at Sacred Heart Parish. Tables and sign-up sheets for each ministry and committee will be in the St. Damien Center after all liturgies. There are many talented parishioners in our parish who would like to participate in the life of the parish. A representative from each ministry will be available to answer your questions.
