We participate in our church life by giving from our Time, Talent and Treasure. Why we should participate is more difficult. We do not participate to receive anything back. Yet, God promises to return blessings to us tenfold. We cannot "outgive" God. Stewardship is described as giving from our first fruits. Give first to God.
By participating in Stewardship, a person grows in spirit and in self. By participating in Stewardship, a person grows by allowing their self to be touched by others and in turn touches others to help them grow in their faith. Stewardship is a never-ending cycle of growing with God.
Yearly Events
April - Month-long education to promote Treasure Stewardship
October - OLPS Ministry Fair for all organizations and ministries to educate parishioners about their missions and to gain new members.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if every parishioner participated in at least one group? This reminds me of a service I attended at a small Protestant church in southern Missouri many years ago. The congregation was so small that everyone in the audience moved to the choir section to sing the hymns then moved back to the audience seating for the talk. Now that's participation!
