Gifts.  We all have gifts that the Lord has given to us. Talents of many kinds are found in each one of us. You might exercise them so naturally that you are not even aware that you are using them while doing things that bless others.  Jesus’ parable in Matthew 25:37-40 expresses how faith reflexively responds when an opportunity is given by the Lord to do good for our neighbors.  And we are told, “whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me.”  We hope in this Talent Survey that you will tell us what you enjoy doing, how Jesus has gifted you, and what comes naturally.  The Survey does much.  It helps us to know whom to ask when an opportunity to serve comes up.  And it offers a chance to include more people.  My favorite part is getting to know you more as we work together.  We become gifts to one another.  So, I ask that you consider filling this out by October 25th.

We will all get a better opportunity to grow together as we serve our Lord.  Thanks for sharing your talents with Your family.
