Lent will soon be upon us—a time when we are called to contemplate our relationship with Jesus, His suffering, sacrifice, and resurrection. Many of us choose to give something up for those 40 days, but what if we considered “taking something on”?

At Mother of God, there are numerous opportunities to get involved. Your talents and energy are exactly what’s needed to build our community and bring the Kingdom of Heaven a little closer.

A great place to start is our Parish Ministries Directory. Located on the Mother of God website under “Connect” on the navigation bar, it’s a comprehensive listing of ministries and committees, complete with the names of people to contact for more information.

Are you interested in becoming a lector, server or Eucharistic minister? Are you tech savvy? Do you enjoy planning social events (or helping out at parties)? There are a variety of options that require varying time commitments and abilities. And each of them represents a way that the Holy Spirit may be calling you.

Think about it. Pray about it. Take a leap of faith. ‘Yes’ is the beginning of the God life.
