Stewardship
-
Time, Talent and Treasure
As disciples of Christ, we are called to be stewards of our Faith - to help further the Church's mission by generously sharing the gifts He has given us.
Stewardship - sharing God's gifts - is fundamental to our faith. As stewards, we are asked to make a commitment to financially support the Church's work and to offer our time and talents.
Time, Talent…
There are many ways to become involved at Nativity Parish. Volunteering your time and talent is a great way to contribute to Nativity while building life-long relationships with other parishioners. Our parish relies on hundreds of volunteers each year to support our programs and special events. The Nativity County Fair, hospitality for funeral luncheons, and those that help maintain the beauty of our Church are just a few of the many opportunities parishioners have to volunteer their time and talents to strengthen our parish community.
Please consider volunteering your time to help Nativity Catholic Church and School remain a strong and vital community.
…and Treasure
Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church depends on the generosity of its parishioners to fulfill its mission to serve God and act as His servants on earth. Some of the ways that parishioners can support the parish financially include:
-The annual Parish Stewardship Drive (November)
-Regular giving (either electronically or by dropping an envelope in the Lord's Day Collection)
At Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church, the stewardship program is the lifeblood of our parish. It pays for all operating expenses - from heat and electricity to salaries and health benefits…from musicians and liturgical aids to the beautiful gardens that welcome us. Stewardship funds allow the parish to serve all of its members, including the elderly, the poor and the isolated. They also provide the means to teach and preach God's Word to those who need to hear it.
In short, stewardship keeps Nativity's doors open and its programs moving forward. All parishioners are asked to help support our parish mission by committing a specific financial donation each year. It is our fervent hope that all parishioners - whether new to the parish or a member of the parish for decades - approach their annual stewardship commitment carefully. Your commitment reflects the blessings that the parish offers you and your family and your personal reasons for choosing the Nativity faith community.
As the Lord tells us, it is in giving that we receive. May you receive his many blessings for the gifts of time, talent and treasure you have so graciously shared with Nativity.
