Stewardship of Prayer 2011-2012

The foundation of all other forms of stewardship is prayer—giving back to God a generous portion of our time through a prayerful relationship with Him.  Since Advent of 2005, we have offered parishioners the opportunity make a personal commitment to prayer for the following year.  Our annual Stewardship of Prayer commitment weekend will be December 3/4, 2011. 

 An annual Stewardship of Prayer pamphlet will once again be available.  Copies will be distributed on December 3 and 4, and extra copies will be available in the Gathering Space.  Copies of pamphlets from 2006 through 2010 will also be available.  The pamphlets are a handy resource for daily prayer, and just one of the many ways we can increase prayer in our daily lives. 

On Stewardship of Prayer commitment weekend, parishioners will be asked to reflect on and complete a personal prayer commitment card, which lists a variety of opportunities for increasing one’s prayer life.  After completion of the two-part card, one side will be collected during Mass; the other side may be used as a personal reminder of one’s renewed prayer commitment for the coming year.  Returning a portion of the card helps us assess and appreciate the powerful presence of prayer here at St. Thomas More Church. 

With grateful hearts, may we experience the power of prayer in our lives, in our parish, and far beyond the boundaries of our community and nation.
