SEVERAL AREA CHURCHES have recently suffered acts of vandalism.  If you are out and about, please keep an eye out for anything unusual around our church and school property.

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:   Romans 8:18
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”  It is very easy to get caught up in the present and lose track of our ultimate destiny in the Kingdom of God.  St. Paul encourages us to keep eternity in mind.  This certainly has an application to our support for the Gospel – if we keep our focus on “the glory to be revealed” we will see our tithes and offerings in a new light.

T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
