PRAYER FOR RENEWAL
In every age, O God, you have called us to be your people, to be your church.
In this time, we begin anew to discern the pathways that will lead us,
your people, closer to you.
Continually, Bless our journey
as we proclaim your Good news,
celebrate your saving presence among us, serve others with charity and justice,
and steward the world you have entrusted to our care.
Send your spirit to lead and guide our Emmaus journey as
we commit ourselves to the renewal of our Church.
This we ask through Christ our Lord.
AMEN

Update from the Stewardship Pillar
The goal of the Stewardship pillar is to strengthen our vibrant communities of faith to be witnesses of Christ and minister to each other.
The reality of having fewer priests should open our eyes to the need for an increased parishioner involvement & participation. We encourage you to consider
your own wiliness to give of your time and talents within our whole family, Mary of Bethlehem, rather than just within your own individual parish.
This Sharing of talent will enhance all ministries and events we already have, as well as explore new ways to increase our spiritual lives.
As we continue along this journey, the stewardship pillar will continue to provide more information on how you can participate.
