Volunteer Opportunities / Getting Involved

LIVING OUR FAITH

You Are Invited…

The members of Presentation have always looked to follow Jesus through the giving of their time and talent in stewardship.  As we once again approach the time to renew our commitment to serve our Lord, we use this pamphlet as a guide to discern how Christ is calling us to follow him.  We invite you to be a Christian steward of your God-given gifts of time and talent. Listed below are opportunities for your consideration. We ask you to reflect prayerfully on these opportunities and ask yourself: “How will I give back to God by serving others in His name?”
