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?”

Many factors contribute to shaping who we are becoming our family, our job, where we live, who our friends are, our relationships, and yes, our faith. These years are too important to let them simply pass by without taking time out. We need to slow down, reflect on where we are, who surrounds us, where we want to go and who it is that God is calling us to be. The 20/30 ministry is committed to reaching out to adults in this age range by offering opportunities to grow and mature in life and faith.
