Time, Talent & Treasure

Time, talent and treasure are all gifts from God and what we share is our response to God's generosity. What we share will make a difference in this community of faith and in other people's lives.
How are you called to share these gifts in 2008?
Each of us is called to share our joy in a unique way. We recognize the gifts that God has first given us through grace, and we joyfully accept our role and responsibility as stewards.
St. Martin's needs all of its members to respond fully to God's grace by pledges of time, talent and treasure.
