LIVING A DIFFERENT WAY...Stewardship of TIME & TALENT Stewardship has three parts to it TIME, TALENT, & TREASURE. It is a Biblical concept that challenges us to commit 10% of our TIME, TALENT & TREASURE to God. At St. Columba we are committed to living a stewardship way of life. So each year we have the opportunity to commit and recommit our TIME, TALENT & TREASURE to God through the Church. Many thanks to all who returned the completed lists committing themselves to various ministries in our parish. May God bless your generosity. If you have not had time to fill out your preferences in the booklet please do so as soon as possible. Extra booklets are available in the vestibule of the Church this weekend. Following are some of the areas needing volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, you are asked to contact the church office at stcolumba@comcast.net.
