A Season of Stewardship
It is not too late to plant!

“I planted, Apollos watered, and God gave the growth.” (I Corinthians 6:3). Even though St. Benedict’s stewardship season is coming to an end, God’s abundant love for us never ends. He is always our faithful steward. If you haven’t had an opportunity to make your pledge for the coming year, it is not too late. God’s word tells us that as we plant and water, he will give growth to St. Benedict’s. To make your pledge please use the button below.

St. B's needs lectors (readers) and intercessors (lead the prayers of the people) on Sunday mornings. It's so important that the assembly hears God's word read by people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, voices... reflecting the diversity of the body of Christ. This is a great ministry for folks looking to get more involved! Email Saralee Parker with any questions. |

Now that we are back in church for services please start wearing you name tag. If you don't have a name tag please contact Monty at monty@mysaintb.org to request a new one. Wearing name tags really is a help for Mo. Jenna and for each of us as we welcome new parishioners and visitors and maybe refresh our memories on old friends. |

St. Benedict's is committed to the various care needs of its member families. A dedicated group of volunteers are continuing to offer their time to serve our church community within various pastoral care capacities, including prayer requests, transportation, meal delivery, Eucharistic visits with Diocesan-approved safe protocols, and more. Mo. Jenna is also readily available for prayers, calls and/or visits for those in need.
