I wanted to report to you on the results of our Stewardship of Talent experience.  Because of the July 4 holiday, we are having to prepare the bulletin much earlier.  So, I want you to know that I am writing this letter for the July 7 edition of the bulletin rather early—like on June 25!  So, it is barely a week since we had the signup for ministries at Mass.  I want to repeat what I said at most of the Masses that weekend (three weeks ago by the time you are reading this).  It was truly inspiring for me to see so many of you step forward to offer your gifts at the altar as you placed the forms in the basket.  You showed me that Christ is alive and active in our church community.

Because of the sheer volume, I ask you to be patient.  However, if you still have not been contacted in a few more weeks, especially for a new ministry commitment, please let us know!  Thank you for being an inspiration to MY ministry!
