Sharing our Time and Talents for Ministry
St. Michael Lutheran Church

March 2008


Dear Fellow Ministers,

One way that we witness to God's presence in our lives is by being good stewards of the time, talents and treasures that God has given us and by using those gifts in our community of faith and in the world. This time and talent survey offers you a way to identify ministries that you are passionate about and interested in supporting. Your willingness to share your gifts makes ministry happen!

Humbly,

Your Stewards Team
