Our individual talents are difficult to fit into a tithing model of returning 10% to the Lord, but in true Christian humility we recognize that the gifts that are uniquely ours are not to be “hidden under a bushel,” but rather used to glorify the Giver. The people of Prince of Peace regularly use their talents in a variety of ministries. Some examples of skills and knowledge that are being given for the good of the community are:

Accountant  Adult Education Calligraphy Care Giver Carpenter
		Chef Choir Coach Computer Skills Consoling
Drama/Storyteller Drivers Employment Support English as a Second Language
		Facilitation Flower Arranging Greeter/Hospitality Helping Hands
Instrumentalist Interpreter/Translator  Landscaping Meals on Wheels
		Office Help Painting Parenting Parish Nurses Party Planning
Photography Prayer Ministry Religious Education Sacramental Preparation Sewing
		Soup Kitchen Teaching Teen Group Visiting Sick and Homebound

Stewardship of talent begins with an honest self-evaluation of our gifts and talents followed by exploration of how these things might best be used for the good of the community and its members.
