The Anglican Parish of Huntley Carp, Ontario

TIME AND TALENT RECRUITMENT SURVEY
MY PARISH, MY STEWARDSHIP

Our parish is an extension of our homes. It is the physical and visible focal point of our faith. It is the public forum where we gather as a Christian community to give witness to Jesus.

Our parish gives us so much: the Eucharistic celebration, the initiation of baptism and confirmation, the soothing and strengthening help of forgiveness, the blessing of matrimony, the comfort of the sacrament of the sick, the belonging of community, and the security and assurance of knowing we are a people favoured by God.

These wonderful benefits elicit a responsibility from each of us toward our parish as an active, living, sustaining institution. We fulfill this obligation by giving of our time and
Talents, and by our adequate financial support—our treasure.

This giving of our time, talents and treasure to our parish constitutes our stewardship.
God has blessed us greatly. In gratitude and in faith we, as good stewards, return a portion of these blessings to further God’s work in our parish. And we prayerfully strive to make stewardship not just a word, but our way of life as believing Christians.

Today, we are asking you to think about where your particular talents lie–where you would be willing to put some energy to furthering God’s work in this world.
We are not asking for a time commitment –just to know where your particular interests lie. You may be asked to commit some time in the future, at which point, your prayerful consideration will be required.

You may already be involved in some of these ministries. Are there other areas you would like to explore?
