St. Peter, at first skeptical about any results from putting
out from shore to fish after a night of catching nothing, turns to Jesus after a bountiful catch and said, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man” (Luke 5:1-8).

Stewardship Prayer
Lord, You alone are the source of every good gift, of the vast array of our universe,
and the mystery of each human life.
We praise You and we thank You for Your great power and your tender, faithful LOVE.
Everything we are and everything we have is Your gift,
and after having created us, You have given us into the keeping of Your Son, JESUS CHRIST.
Fill our minds with His truth and our hearts with His love, that in His Spirit
we may be bonded together into a community of faithful, caring people.
In the Name and Spirit of Jesus, we commit ourselves to be good stewards
of the gifts entrusted to us, to share our time, our talent
and our material gifts as an outward sign of the Treasure we hold in Jesus.
Amen
